  • GO GIRL!!!!! I've always been interested in solar power. But the cost is insane. Keep up the good wirk!

  • This is what I want to study when I finish year 12 :D I think the closest thing to it is EcoChemistry or Sustainable Energy Engineering in Adelaide.

  • Strengths

    Work well for remote locations Local weather patterns and sun conditions directly affect the potential of photovoltaic systems. Weaknesses

    Some locations will not be able to use solar power.

    Require very little maintenance

    Environmentally friendly (no emissions)

    Low Maintenance High Costs

  • siobhan you need to rethink why requiring little maintainance and being environmentally friendly would be a weakness.

  • this is awesome... if Nicole can pull this off, she will revolutionize the energy industry. I wonder what the efficiency and output of these new cells are? will wait for more info which im sure will come to light as the dream becomes reality..you go girl

  • Well Jason the efficiency of solar cells has been the biggest problem and coupled with their cost they do not prove to be a very viable investment for most home owners. But with this inkjet printing technology we can surely hope that the costs can go down and if this can get enough of an attention of potential investors then we can see more money going into solar research and hopefully the developments in this field in terms of the efficiency accelerating.

  • Thinking out of the box... This is how to change the way we do business, and produce energy... M.G.

  • Great role model for my smart daughter

    ---and almost as beautiful! Joking.

    Good Luck, wonder what wattage is generated,

    and wish this could be released as a Creative Commons license-- avail to all..

  • By looking at this woman my heart feels warm and my soul fills with hope and strength to fight for the freedom to fight for people in this cruel and corrupted by power world. Thats how i feel right now. Also as a physicist huge respect to her! And i sincirily wish that this project going to be installed in real life... though many people will make a thorn path for this to happen. 1/3 of population can make no impact on the society that we live in because of the condtitions of life.

  • Pity such techniques are not broadcast all over the net for everyone to try. This is probably the last we'll see of this before industry scum buy it and hide it as usual.

  • cheap DIY electricity production = decentralized electrical production = greater individual liberty, not just for developing nations, but developed nations where the government is historically or increasingly facistic.

    hip hip hooray!!!

  • Hi Nicole...heard your spot on public radio yesterday. Do you know about the ACUMEN foundation? They are looking for people like you! Check them out. Also you should apply for the TED prize...this is an idea definitely worth sharing...best of luck...congrats.

  • wow i love how the first reason that electricity is good, is that you can read at night xD

    Well done im sure your research will be well admired, and when it works youll be praised!! Thanks

  • Hi Nicole

    My name's Travis King, I'm a 1st Year Photovoltaic engineering COOP, living at New College. I loved your research video and I'd love to hear more about it. This field is a real passion of mine. You can contact me from the PV school phone list or I can ask them fro yours, if you don't mind. THANKS, Trav
