Buildings Painted with Solar Cells Envisioned
Apr 1, 2008 — SWANSEA, UK Researchers at Swansea University are investigating ways of painting solar cells onto the flexible steel surfaces that are used for cladding buildings. An ecological alternative, this photovoltaic method of capturing solar energy could generate a significant amount of electricity. The group is working with Corus Colors of Deeside, which produces about 100 million square meters of steel building cladding per year. It is estimated that 4500 GW h of electricity could be generated...
