Solar energy just got into spray-and-use mode – goodbye to solar panels

Science and technology is advancing at a fast pace and its latest offering is solar energy that can dispense with the solar panels that has been the norms till now. Welcome the spray version that can be sprayed onto tiles by a Ghostbuster-style team.
This is a revolutionary invention by scientists from the University Of Toronto Faculty Of Applied Science & Engineering – they have invented a new way to spray solar cells onto flexible surfaces using miniscule light-sensitive materials known as colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). As explained by Illan Kramer at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, it would finally translate into a couple of technicians with Ghostbusters backpacks who would come to the house and spray the CQDs on the roof.
It may sound like science fiction but the team is serious and are upbeat.
They have worked out that these solar-sensitive CQDs printed onto a flexible film could be used to coat all kinds of objects from laptops to aircraft wings. If applied on the surface of a car roof, it could produce enough power for three 100-Watt light bulbs or 24 compact fluorescents.
And, in the bargain, it could send prices of solar panels crashing.
