Solar Cells Made from Plastics Could Reduce Cost
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a new solar cell made froma single layer of plastic sandwiched between two conductive electrodes. The materials are cheap and can be easily mass produced. So far, the percentage efficiencies are still in the single digits but recently researchers have seen gains, and they hope to double the efficiency in a short time, eventually shooting for 15 to 20 percent efficiency with a 15 to 20 year lifespan.
