Naomi-K says:

Thin film photovoltaics are an interesting develpment.
Fuelled by a worldwide shortage of silicon (caused by a huge growth in demand for solar energy) thin film solar has risen in popularity.

While less efficient (now) than traditional solar panels, thin film is cheaper to produce.

The source tells me that there are kinds of chemicals that they basically “print” on to a surface and it can produce electricity. If is true then i would like to know what exactly these chemicals are and how this works. Would this be the same thing as Thin Film solar panels?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://solarstarter.org/blog/"><P>Nanotechnology is a term meaning “Technology development at the atomic, molecular, or macromolecular range of approximately 1-100 nanometers.”</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://solarstarter.org/blog/"><P>Thin film photovoltaics are made of materials that are only a few micrometers thick.
