A new solar cell technology, developed by nanosolar (nanosolar.com), can be applied to surfaces by a printing press technique. As reported by Michael Moyer on the Popular Science website, the light weight and high efficiency of this material are touted by popsci.com as a major advance (Innovation of the Year and GreenTech Grand Award Winner). This looks very promising, indeed! Thanks to my friend Steve B. of Gather.com for alerting me to this news.
