Costing less than $10 per square metre to make, the panels can be manufactured rapidly and transported easily.
On a commercial scale, it would take just 10 printers operating around the clock to produce enough solar panels to power 1000 homes for a day.


Beyond powering houses and cities, there was potential for this new technology to assist in emergency situations, with solar cells printed on demand and sent to disaster zones to power relief efforts.

Printed solar cells are on display in Melbourne at the Pacprint Conference powering screens and displays outside the Melbourne Conference and Exhibition Centre.
