A Very Compact Guide to Energy Harvesting - Part 015

Great advancements wth printable solar cells

 

Everyone thinks that 3D printing is cool but Australia's CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) has just received a machine that is able to print solar cells.

This technology combined with the Energy Harvesting Kit is a real winner!

With this you could make anything harvest energy!.

The next step would be to print piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials.

There'd be no need to order solar cells. You'd just print them on the case or integrate, combine or both with 3D printing.

    Hi Monte,

     

    Keep us posted on their future projects.  I am interested in seeing how well these printed collectors hold up in end applications.

     

    The theory looks good, but until they do some longer term studies, we won't be able to make and decent cost/benefit analysis.

     

    Thanks
