Light Reading Solar Ink Offers

"Think ink," say researchers at the University of Texas at Austin to make solar cell manufacturing less cumbersome and more cost-effective.

The team has developed solar cell Concord Replica Watch prototypes using nanoparticle "inks" that can be printed like newspaper on a plastic substrate or stainless steel. The Marc Jacobs Handags Replica sunlight-absorbing materials could also conceivably be spray painted on the sides of buildings or rooftops and, because they are semi-transparent, could enable windows to double as solar cells.

The inks use copper indium gallium selenide, or CIGS, as a basis, which is cheaper than silicon, traditionally used for photovoltaic manufacture, and environmentally benign. Because CIGS is adirect band gap semiconductor, much less material is also required to make a solar cell.
