traditional solar cells used silicon but now solar cells use polymer. and it could be sprayed on any surface that is exposed to sunlight so now you arent so limited. that of course will be happening in the future!
love bunches!!!!

Traditional solar cells use silicon and are seen on roofs, but the new solar cells use polymer, which is pretty much the same thing except polymer can be dissolved and put on flexible material. In the future, we could spray this on anything that comes in contact with the sunlight.
One scientist and her team found a way to detect chemical leaks and other defects with solar cells. But instead of usinga a silicon backing they turned to a new substance called polymer.

the old solar cells had silicon in them, and the new ones use polymer. It could be used to sniff out chemical leaks. You can spray it on any surface for energy
it happens because they return to the same pond to mate therefore there is more inbreeding and more deformieits.

1. they use polymer instead of silicon. it has the same electrical charge, but polymer is more flexible.
2. it can be sprayed onto any surface that is exposed to sunlight.

the spray on solar cels are made out of polymer and the traditional solar is made of silicone. the spray on solar cells could be sprayed on any surface that is exposed to sun light which turn the sunlight in to electricity.
