Printable Solar Panels with Vladimir Bulović

This clip features a sample from Vladimir Bulović's IAP Golden Speaker Series presentation on "Ubiquitous Active Surfaces."
Vladimir Bulović is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, holding the Fariborz Maseeh Chair in Emerging Technology. He directs the Organic and Nanostructured Electronics Laboratory, co-leads the MIT-Eni Solar Frontiers Center, leads the Tata GridEdge program, and is the Founding Director of MIT.nano, MIT's new 200,000 sqft nano-fabrication, nano-characterization, and prototyping facility that opened in the summer of 2018. He is an author of over 250 research articles (cited over 45,000 times) and an inventor of over 100 U.S. patents in areas of light emitting diodes, lasers, photovoltaics, photodetectors, chemical sensors, programmable memories, and micro-electro machines, majority of which have been licensed and utilized by both start-up and multinational companies.

Glad that YT suggested that video, even though it isn't a popular one. I learned from Vladimir to look at cost differently.

Brilliant gentlemen ❤

Weight is one thing but the surface area must be structural sound to handle 250km per hour winds and last 20 years

How does Dileema hold up to solar radiation?

Solar cells on fabric? Solar Sails for ships would be useful.

[@Preciouspink]

Whatever we generate will be used. But solar is cool technology and green

I/we need to know whether your flexible panels are recyclable! Before watching this video I assumed the structure material was plastic of which we all know that this is not truly recyclable! The components of a glass cell are recyclable. Is your cloth material?

Russle thargs team of Thousands of remote viewers from around the world. Have stated that within 40 years. The roads will be solar panel's and that cars will wirelessly charge while on them. We should all be focusing on working towards making this idea happen earlier.

Now Russia has an 80% efficiency cell. So Im hoping that gets mass manufactured asap. I think it would make itself worth the cost
