Plastic solar cells pave way for clean energy industry




University researcher has been developing  a cheaper and faster way of making large-scale plastic solar cells using a lamination technique, paving the way for a lucrative new clean energy industry.

The novel method, developed by PhD candidate Anirudh Sharma (pictured), is a promising alternative to the expensive fabrication techniques currently used in the renewable energy sector, and would make the commercialisation of plastic solar cell technology more viable.
