Who says solar cells have to be rigid and bulky? A team of researchers has created what could be the world’s first peel-and-stick solar cells.
A team from Stanford University said the reusable, decal-like Thin-Film Solar Cells (TFSCs) can be attached to almost any surface.
“The peel-and-stick process provides a simple way for integrating TFSCs into buildings, clothes, and many other nonconventional substrates,” the researchers said.
According to the researchers, the process involves integrating hydrogenated amorphous silicon paper, plastics, cell phone and building windows while maintaining the original 7.5-percent efficiency.
