The solar energy industry is exploding with new technologies, including “solar paint”
Solar power has come a long way from when Bell Labs presented the first photovoltaic cell in 1954. Researchers are brainstorming all kinds of ways to improve the collection of solar energy, reported Green America. For example, Los Angeles-based startup Sunflare has developed solar panels that are incredibly thin, flexible, and light. They replaced the traditional silicon […]
