Solar power continues to evolve and change with new technological advancements. The Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium is the Australian solar power experts from SIRO, the University of Melbourne and Monash University . They have created and begun marketing solar cells created by 3D printers.
The are cheaply printing the solar cells onto plastic and metal. They print them on cell phones and laptops for self charging. Printing the solar film onto the outer walls and window of building like skyscrapers could be used to self power the building.
If this technology fulfills its potential, we will see huge changes to the electrical power needs of cities. A building may be completely self sufficient for electricity. No more blackouts or need to concern energy during high peak times.
Can you imagine every home in the world having this technology? It would be awesome. This could change everything.
