The power of the sun
Power Plastic is inexpensive (five times less than traditional PV), lightweight (1 to 2 ounces per square foot), and versatile (can be colored, patterned, and cut to fit). The light-activated polymer PV material can be integrated into architectural products such as rooftops, siding, and blinds, although there are no current partnerships in the A&D market.
