Solar Cells Run Off Like Printing
Flexible solar cells are a remarkable feat of engineering; they are flexible, small and reasonably cheap method of producing renewable energy. This means that one day in the not too distant future solar cells could be printed on machines in a similar way as bank notes.
Work is already being carried out by CSIRO’s Future Manufacturing Flagship in Australia, they are investing in a three year project to find economic ways to produce solar cells on a reel to reel basis, and this is being done with the help of Securency International a banknote printing company. Once printed these solar cells can be cut or shaped to fit onto almost any surface.
