Solar Panel Paint Created
Posted on Mar 27, 08 09:50 AM PDT
A research team from Swansea in the UK have developed a method to create solar "panel" paint, where when applied in layers to steel cladding will result in conversion of 5% of inbound solar energy to electricity. That does not sound as though it amounts to much, but with simple mathematics applied by multiplying it up over the surface area of a building, you will be able to cut down on power costs of a building by quite a bit. According to the project leader, if one manufacturer made all their steel cladding energy-producing, that will result in the same amount of electricity generated by 50 wind farms.
