Continuing my alternative energy theme for another day, Triple Pundit tells us that nanosolar coatings provide an even better alternative for solar power production because they do not require silicon. This makes this method both more efficient from a cost standpoint as well as a more effective means of generating solar power.
Nanosolar can be mass produced because it is a coating that is rolled on to almost anything from glass to roof shingles. California is taking advantage of this technology as the foundation for its Million Solar Roofs initiative. In a state that has an abundance of sunshine and is a big energy user, solar power should be top of mind as an alternative.
While there are no easy answers to the energy dilemma we face, it is interesting to note that the buzz about alternatives is heating up, so to speak, and that is always a good thing.
