Nothing, It is not effective & efficient.

Am I missing something here, the sun was not involved here.

@bridgeboy513 nothing.... while this method of home made solar cells is real, you'd have to have a few hundred thousand of them just to charge a cell phone... Do the math on that 300,000 * $0.02 It comes out to about $6000 just to power a cel phone. AND it would take up a huge area... For that much money you can buy enough professional solar panels to power your computer and then some.
