3d printing can play an important role in keeping costs in line.
Rostec 3d printing solar panels.
Solar cells can be printed onto a roll of plastic like you would print a poster.
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.
3d printing is showing up in nearly every industry.
The cost of electricity from solar has already decreased by 85 since 2010.
3d printed solar panels are 50 cheaper and capture 20 more sunlight than traditional solar panels.
Solar energy has made big strides in the last decade as it becomes more widely used throughout the world.
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.
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.
