August 21, 2004 -- SEATTLE, Wash., (USA) -- Jobwerx News -- Solar power in the past has been confined to silicon based solar cells that are relatively ineffective, expensive to manufacture and akward to install. Companies such as Konarka Technologies, Siemens and GE are on the hunt for innovative solar technology.

Breakthrough converts light into energy from plastic strips of film coated with titanium dioxide and light-absorbing dye.

Lowell, Massachusetts based Konarka Technologies, an innovator in developing and manufacturing breakthrough products that convert light to energy, has developed a process that coats strips of plastic film with titanium dioxide and light-absorbing dye.

Konarka is focused on the development and commercialization of photovoltaic cells that are lightweight, flexible and more versatile than previous generations of products. The new photovoltaics developed by Konarka use tiny solar cells embedded in thin sheets of plastics to create an energy-producing material that is cheap, efficient and versatile.
