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.

Would it be possible to concentrate the suns rays using some sort of magnifying glass and concentrate those light energy to a smaller PV cell to produce more energy using less PV material?  Well, that’s exactly what  sungri did.   They created a system that would use 2000x magnification.
This new solar technology is expected to bring down the cost to about 5 cents per kilowatt hour (according to their website) which would be competitive with the wholesale price of producing electricity from fossil fuels.
Now that for me is good news.  I just hope such technology becomes available to consumers soon.
