It is quite ironic. At least, that’s how I think it is. What am I talking about? Those solar cells which would be made of plastic. See, we know that solar cells really help our environment a lot. But plastic? That’s another story.
But anyway, with regards to plastic solar cells, a company, Solarmer Energy Inc., is on the hunt towards creating these plastic solar cells. They deem that such products can be used with gadgets like mobile phones and iPods and MP3s and other things so much so that these gadgets need not be charged to an electric socket.
Dina Lozofsky is the VP for development and alliance at the company and she said, “New materials with higher efficiencies are really the key in our industry. Plastic solar cells are behind traditional solar-cell technology in terms of the efficiency that it can produce right now.”
But I certainly do see a bright future for plastic solar cells. Oh how the industry will go for products that use them.
