Future Possibilities
The new materials that solar energy can be harnessed with is one of the most exciting elements of the new technology. The flexible and lightweight physical characteristics of the different types of third generation solar cells makes many new applications possible.
There is the possibility that solar cells could be integrated into clothing which would allow us to have personal wireless power without batteries.
Another plausible application could be a type of automobile paint that is blended with polymer solar cells. This could help maintain the lightweight form of a solar car while still providing ample energy to power it.
