The researchers at the University of Alberta have successfully generated some less difficult and cheaper way of developing solar panels. It is suggested that it will turn getting off the power grid easier for residents.

It is suggested that the group has been examining the solar power cells for many years. After near about 200 attempts, they have been successful in developing liquid and bringing it in use to creating films that are efficient enough of absorbing light and conducting electricity.

U of A Nano Researcher Jillian Buriak stated that these are very minute particles that they generate in lab that are developed by very cheap materials. These materials include zinc and phosphorus. As they are common, it is cheaper to make the panels than the unique materials such as cadmium which is being used at present.

Panels developed of the liquid are thinner and not that heavy. It is said that they are not required to be installed on the roofs. On the other hand the nano particle based liquid can be utilized in printing the solar cells. The methods used for this printing is similar to the one used in newspaper press.

It was suggested that these can also be utilized into a spray that can be used in coating on an object such as a wall.
