Because of the developments in solar cell printing a large industrial printer can create rolls of solar cells that can be shipped and delivered to your home like a yoga mat.
Rostec 3d printing solar panels.
It was only a matter of time until someone made the connection between 3d printing and solar technology.
Solar cell printing is one of these things.
So far the solar cells have been mostly produced by companies with industrial printing capacity.
Solar industry needed a new innovation and more than anything else they needed a way to become more affordable.
Now researchers have found a way to make solar panels produce even more energy while reducing costs with the design of new double sided panels and technology to optimize their sun exposure.
And it is now cheaper than electricity from new coal and gas plants in 67 of the world.

The cost of electricity from solar has already decreased by 85 since 2010.
3d printing is showing up in nearly every industry.
Printing solar panels can cut manufacturing costs in half according to future power technology.
3d printing can play an important role in keeping costs in line.

Solar will get even cheaper thanks to 3d printing.
3d printed solar panels can capture 20 more sunlight and cost 50 less than traditional panels.
This is where 3d printing becoming more universally available gets exciting.
These panels can then be stuck to the walls on the outside of buildings or used to line lamp posts or sidewalks.
Regarding the quality of these panels they are also 20 more efficient than traditional panels as new techniques new 3d printing materials and new designs are now developed thanks to 3d printing.

Solar cells can be printed onto a roll of plastic like you would print a poster.
Solar energy has made big strides in the last decade as it becomes more widely used throughout the world.
3d printed panels are much thinner than traditional ones allowing them to be easily.
In addition to production savings mit researchers claim the printed panels could be up to 20 percent more efficient than traditional panels.
In addition 3d printing presents the opportunity to create lighter materials which further brings down prices by reducing transportation costs.
