Thursday, May 23, 2013: Solar power seems to be pacing into our lives even faster than we imagine. The advantages and uses of solar power is varied. But here is something more astonishing than the regular benefits of solar power. After the invention of solar panels and its cost efficiency, here comes the printer that can produce 33 feet of solar cells every single minute. The gigantic printer has created new history among the wonders created through solar energy. A team from Australia has invented this huge printer, which is a great achievement for science and technology.
The Gizmodo has reported that the process of working of this wonder printer is not very complex either. According to the researchers, the printer can utilize only the existing technology of printers in order to embed the polymer cells in the thin plastic and steel sheets. The speed of printing has been reported to be ten meters every single minute. The technique used for screen printing of an image is also used here. It can be also used to print images on T-shirts the same way as screen printing.
Dr. David Jones has reported the advantages and the efficiency of the special printer in a press launch. He is the project co-coordinator and the researcher from the University of Melbourne. The particular category of cell used in it does not belong to the best genre. However, it is the type that promises to lend itself for use in case you need flexibility. It can be used as solar windows, tents and even bags. It is easy to be made and will be soon in demand.
