Will 3D Printing Revolutionize Solar Energy?

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) believe,
. . . 3D solar panels could be roughly 20% more efficient than flat solar panels.
3D printing can extend the amount of solar absorbed into cells,
. . . which may turn some haters of solar power into believers.
The making of efficient, less complex and cheaper, 3D solar cells,
. . . can also capture more sunlight than conventional PV models, and
. . . their program can be delivered over the internet, to anywhere in the world.
3D printing is really a smart printer, that creates objects layer by layer,
. . . through additive manufacturing or the deposits of materials such as.
. . . glass, silicon, plastic, resin and ceramic,
. . . by following a virtual blueprint or animated software.
It is estimated that precision 3D printing could drop production costs by 50%,
. . . just by eliminating many of the inefficiencies associating with,
. . . the waste of costly materials.
