I have been hearing of this technology for some time know, but can any one tell me when will it be in the market for sale?. How can I be one of the first distributor? please send me an email I am Truly interested.

Interesting development in the use of renewable energy and the ways in which these alternatives are discovered. This and nano-technology provide hope that the grip of coal-based electricity will one day be loosened.

How would i aquire some of this solar paint… I was hoping to do a science fair project comparing the effectivness of solar paint versus a solar pannel? No doubt the pannel would be better but which would be more economical?

[...] From the UK, a group from Swansea, while researching paint degradation on steel surfaces, has uncovered a process to create ’solar panel paint’. When applied to steel, it is able to convert five percent of solar energy into electricity. Although a low conversion factor, when considering the application on the large, steel-cladding-rich surface area of commercial buildings, the invention looks like a very good alternative to solar panels. Project leader Dave Worsley believes just one manufacturer, using the paint on all of their steel cladding, could generate the same amount of energy as 50 wind farms. (Sorry no details as to wattage) Anyway, this will definitely be something to follow, especially if anyone of you environmentally-friendly readers is planning on building commercial buildings anytime soon.

[...] Admittedly it’s more “paint your warehouse” than “paint your home”, since few of us have steel walls or roofs on our abode, but it’s still pretty nifty. The technology in the Swansea Solar Paint project is apparently easily scalable, so it may only be a matter of moment until it’s being cranked out by the square yard, saving the environment and generating the 1.21 gigawatts of ability needed to send you Back to the Fut— … well, you get the point.

Yet more people who don\’t understand the difference between a GW and a GWh.

4500 GW is 4.5 times the total generating capacity of the entire United States generation fleet.

4500 GW-h per year equals about 500 MW of continuous power, as big as a typical single coal plant, or about 150 of the big offshore (3.5 MW) wind turbines.

It\’s sad that a press release from an engineering college can\’t even get the units right.

I know there are a lot of environmental concerns associated with the mining operations involved in obtaining cadmium for thin film solar technology. Is this the application of thin film solar technology that relies on cadmium?
