The World's First peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells.

Researchers at the Stanford School of Engineering have succeeded in developing the world’s first peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells.
 


The idea will allow the cells to be applied to almost any surface, with successful tests having been conducted on paper, plastic and window glass. 

This opens up significant opportunities for alternative applications for solar technology, previously limited by traditional solar cells, which must be mounted on stiff, often heavy, fixed panels.
