spray-on solar cells one step closer to reality

Organic Semiconductor May Pave the Way for Paintable Electronics | Inhabitat

Ever think about how amazing it would be if tech as complex as solar cells could be simply sprayed onto a surface? A group of researchers found that a common organic semiconductor may make that situation a reality. Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently determined that poly(3-hexylthiopene), or P3HT, may be a useful material for creating spray-on transistors. Once the tech is optimized, we could see electronics like solar cells and displays that can be sprayed onto a surface just like paint.

imagine that. you could just paint your house and it's one big solar panel.
