. . . because the product, solar panels,
. . . could be created anywhere there is a 3D printer.
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),
. . . 3D printing could capture up to 20% more sunlight,
. . . because its use of copper, indium, gallium and selenide makes it more efficient.
It’s also less:
. . . . . . Complex,
. . . . . . Expensive,
. . . . . . Weight, yet
. . . extremely thin, and flexible, solar cells,
3D printing, is radically more precise,
. . . could cut production 'Waste,' costs, by as much as 50%.
