Konarka Demonstrates its Inkjet Printed Solar Cells

March 04th, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

Konarka Technologies Inc has demonstrated its solar-cell manufacturing based on inkjet printing technology. They are not the only ones in the thin-film solar cells space, but I guess that having more players increases the odds of having something that we can buy soon.

Using thin film instead of silicon decreases the cost of solar panels - a critical reason why solar energy is not ubiquitous, yet.
