Solar Cells-Yet Another New Breakthrough
Posted by Kirk M on 18 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Environment
In an effort to bring out information to a wider audience about new technology that works towards a better environment and a healthier world than the one we live in presently (all thanks to us), I’m making it a point to post about anything that I might actually see hit the streets some time before my life comes to and end. This time period I figure will amount to about 20-25 more years or so. The one below we might actually see within 5 years.
Not so long a time has past from my last post about a new breakthrough in solar cell technology where there has been yet another breakthrough that appears to have blown the previous one away.
Can you imagine wearing a solar powered jacket? Or perhaps recharging your cell phone by plugging into your shirt pocket? Click the top link in the window below to head to the article and find out for yourself about this new breakthrough.

New solar cells developed by Massey University don’t need direct sunlight to operate and use a patented range of dyes that can be impregnated in roofs, window glass and eventually even clothing to produce power.

I could deal with this. Less expensive to manufacture than even the previous breakthrough, environmentally friendly, works in low light situations and much more efficient to boot. Give me an excuse to disconnect from the grid. Any excuse will do.
Solar cell in a can anyone?
