This year’s Popular Science Innovation of the Year award goes to Nanosolar Powersheet!
Based on their website, the powersheet will pay for it self after one month of use. This new solar technology is printable, flexible, and affordable. Came in time for our full time RV dream! Just think about printing a layer of it on the roof of our future rig.

Nanosolar’s cells use no silicon, and the company’s manufacturing process allows it to create cells that are as efficient as most commercial cells for as little as 30 cents a watt. “You’re talking about printing rolls of the stuff – printing it on the roofs of 18-wheeler trailers, printing it on garages, printing it wherever you want it,” says Dan Kammen, founding director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley. “It really is quite a big deal in terms of altering the way we think about solar and in inherently altering the economics of solar.”
