Industry-Altering Plastic Solar Cells :
Solar cells that are made of silicon better watch out. Plastic solar cells promise to be more affordable, efficient and versatile. This means solar power could finally become a major player in the power industry. For now, this alternative energy source is hampered by silicon-based solar cells, which convert a measly 12 to 15% of collected rays into electricity. Enter plastic solar cells, which would be much cheaper and easier to install. In fact, plastic photovoltaics could transform almost anything into an energy-collecting device. Imagine briefcases that could recharge mobile phones, car bodies that could power electric motors, and roofs that could meet the energy needs of facilities.
