Interesting that we could make cheap panels with this spray on solar cell like compound

I post this too but it was on page 3 at the very bottom. So, in case you never saw it there is a spray type liquid that be used in a way similar to how you'd paint a car by using industrial sprayers to coat steel panels which would then be transformed into a sort of solar panel. something quite original, huh?

It is also said to be cheaper to product. Lets see if this holds out to be true in the long run.

that would make a whoe new kind of power grid possible.
one where only the most intensive procceses would require external power.
not taking hand held apliances and the like into accounts but with this process solar panel rooftops would also be exremely easy to manufacture.

This is why I believe that it would need to be part of super grid comprised of carbon nano tubes so that we can get the best long distance transmission and have it connected up all around the local scale right up to cross continental scale.

Be sure to write us when the technology exists for weaving carbon nano-tubes more than a few inches long.
