Submission + - NonSilicon, 6% efficient Printable solar cell
An anonymous reader writes: According to nikkei.net, A dye-sensitised polymer printed solar cell from a collaboration between Toin University of Yokohama and wrapping firm Fujimori Kogyo will sample in February of next year, has three layers, and is 0.4 millimetres thin.
Although energy efficiency is modest, at only six per cent, a fab will churn out 10 megawatts of dye sensitised cells a month, using more or less conventional printing techniques.
