Printable Solar Cells

From Cosmos Magazine:

SYDNEY: Solar panels could soon be printed in the same way as bank notes, thanks to world-leading innovation by Australian scientists.

Researchers from the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium, which includes scientists from government research agency the CSIRO, the University of Melbourne and Monash University, have developed a new technique that could open up the door for cheap, mass-produced solar cells.

“These solar cells are cutting edge technology and offer advantages over traditional solar technology,” Peter Batchelor, Victorian Minister for Energy and Resources, said at the launch. “The production of these film-like solar cells will be literally as easy as printing money.”
