Popular Science Names Nanosolar As The Innovation of the Year
Who knew that Google had their hands in the solar panel industry. Fortunately, whatever they touch turns to gold, or in this case, electricity. Nanosolar has created a solar panel that can be “printed” onto a thin strip. It then can be cut to whatever size you need. Most importantly, the production costs less than building a new electric coal generator, which has been the goal of solar since the beginning.
Because of this amazing achievement, Popular Science has named Nanosolar as one of their Innovations of the Year:
Nanosolar isn’t vaporware. They shipped their first commercial panels back in December.
You can see a CNN clip that briefly mentions Nanosolar here:
As promising as it sounds, I can’t wait for these solar panels to hit the mainstream so that it’s an easy and lightweight addition to your roof.
