Soon You Will be Able to Get Low Cost Organic Solar Panels – Find Out How

Imagine you could go to your nearest super-market, and buy a shiny paper for just a few bucks, and hang it on your house roof, like you would do with a simple poster. But this new cheap paper is actually a very efficient solar panel, and you can simply plug it to your electricity net and reduce your energy costs in no-time. If you like, you will be able to take these thin layer solar panels and hang it on your car, to make it solar. This kind of thin layer panels will change our lives forever. But they are just science fiction right? Wrong!!
As you probably already read about, new polymers that will enable you to print solar panels.
The new technology that is being researched by scientists is now becoming a reality. The main idea is to use organic polymers as semi-conductor instead of silicon. This innovation will allow manufacturers to dramatically decrease the cost of producing solar panels, reducing the price below1 dollar per watt.
This novel technology uses carbon-based materials that will be used as "donors" and "acceptors" of electrons in the systems. When light is absorbed by the materials, photo-induced charges are produced by ultra-fast charge transfer, on the donor and being transferred between the two semiconductor types.
Since the new materials are organic polymers, it is very easy to use existing printing methods to create thin layers that can cover surfaces, and make these solar panels "printable".
This amazing new technology is already here. This incredible advance in solar power technology is going to change your life forever. The change is only a few years away.

All these years I used to be proud of this fact. I used to move with my head held up high. But, now I envy you all. I am not happy anymore. What makes me worry even more is that "MY END IS VERY NEAR" I can see it, but I am helpless. I cannot do anything. - "EARTH"
