Here Comes Second Generation Printed Electronics

Nevertheless, transparent Die Sensitised Solar Cells DSSC will be available as tiles 10 centimeters square from two companies and Heliovolt will commercialize a different solar cell that does not have the disadvantages of silicon yet has high efficiency. DSSC cells are particularly efficient in diffuse daylight but some polymer cells are particularly efficient in garnering energy from infrared not just the visible frequencies. In principle, they could work in the dark and be more flexible and lower in cost.
