Solar panels don’t fit in any environment, so that might be a solution: these printed solar cells will supply a different look to your solar setup. They are translucent and it is even possible to print text on them – is that going to spawn a new generation of solar powered billboards on highways? that is plus suitable for homes considering they

could even be inserted into windows (ok – that’s a little extreme).

There’s a downside, the efficiency is only 4% - which is really low. Usually silicon-based cells convert around 25% of the sun’s energy, whether I remember correctly.
