Paper-thin solar cell can turn any surface into a power source
Popular Science reporter Andrew Paul writes that MIT researchers have developed a new ultra-thin solar cell that is one-hundredth the weight of conventional panels and could transform almost any surface into a power generator. The new material could potentially generate, "18 times more power-per-kilogram compared to traditional solar technology," writes

Experiments with PV Cells
Solar energy can be part of a mixture of renewable energy sources used to meet the need for electricity. Using photovoltaic cells (also called solar cells), solar energy can be converted into electricity. Solar cells produce direct current (DC) electricity and an inverter can be used to change this to alternating current (AC) electricity.

Physics Experiment: Solar photovoltaic cells
A solar cell uses the photovoltaic effect to convert solar radiation directly to DC electrical energy. The rate of energy generation or power from the solar cell depends on the amount of solar radiation falling on the active area of the cell. This power output can be calculated from the product of the solar cell current (I) and voltage (V)
