Conventional photovoltaic technology uses large, heavy, opaque, dark silicon panels while organic photovoltaic technology enables more translucent and more flexible solar panels in a range of colors to be manufactured. But even silicon solar panels are not viable yet so for something to replace those, it will have to have greater efficiency, longer duration and low production cost - or at least some combination of those. Legacy solar panels have not improved in decades and policy makers are jaded by claims of how much money this will save. read more
