nanomaterials are 10000 times thinner than a piece of hair
product should be out in 3 to 5 years\
the sun is unlimited energy
solar energy pannels will be cheaper with nano particles

Light-absorbing nanomaterials are 10,000 times thinner than a strand of hair. Korgels team has developed solar-cell prototypes with efficiencies at one percent but they need to be about 10 percent. Korgel is hoping to cut costs to one-tenth of their current price. The inks could be printed on a roll-to-roll printing process on a plastic substrate or stainless steel. Solar cells could soon be produced more cheaply using nanoparticle inks.

Inks allow them to be printed like newspapers and things that are painted. How we make solar cells now is in a vacuum chamber which is pretty expensive, so this new solution is low cost and nano particle. They will absorb the energy from the sun and turn it into light or power. Paintible solar cells may be used in three to five years.

The sun provides an unlimited amount of energy for solor panels Paintable solar cells could be posible in the future. The new Solar cells are used on CIGS, or Copper Indium Gallium Selenide. The product is expected to be out in 3 to 5 years and help out with stop of global warming. Solar cells could soon be produced more cheaply.

These new cells will make things like gas cheaper. Brian Korgel, from the University of Texas, is hoping to cut costs to one-tenth of their current price. He hopes to do so by replacing the standard manufacturing process for solar cells. Doing that requires high temperatures and is relatively expensive.
