Researches at Sandia laboratories have created tiny solar cells that could easily replace the standard multi-cristalline Silicon cells. Based on the material consumption and production costs, these tiny solar cells could be up to 100 times more effective than the traditional ones. Another great advantage of these tiny cells is that they could be suspended in ink and printed on different materials. The cells are made in hexagonal shape and their thickness is only 20 microns. This offers new paths for development of flexible solar panels, solar paint that could be applied on different materials and objects and many other solutions that will lead to a revolution in solar power. In the future, tiny solar cells could be installed in most of the objects that we use every day, such as mobile phones, gadgets and even clothes.
