What an incredible thought, the researchers at
New Jersey Institute of Technology have developed a concept of a cheap solar cell that can be printed or painted onto flexible plastic sheets.

There is still an enormous amount of work before it will be possible to print on a home inkjet printer a solar panel - however it is extremly interesting. Read more about this at
