(NaturalNews) A new combination of nano and solar technology has made it possible for solar electric generation to be cheaper than burning coal. Nanosolar, Inc. has developed a way to produce a type of ink that absorbs solar radiation and converts into electric current. Photovoltaic (PV) sheets are produced by a machine similar to a printing press, which rolls out the PV ink onto sheets approximately the width of aluminum foil. These PV sheets can be produced at a rate of hundreds of feet per minute.

Nanosolar, a heavily financed Silicon Valley start-up whose backers include Google's co-founders, plans to announce Tuesday that it has begun selling its innovative solar panels, which are made using a technique that is being held out as the future of solar power manufacturing. The company, which has raised $150 million and built a 200,000-square-foot factory here, is developing a new manufacturing process that "prints" photovoltaic material on aluminum backing, a process the company says will reduce the manufacturing cost of the basic photovoltaic module by more than 80 percent.

High density and metal bonded plastic functional composite materials with complex and delicate structures can also be prepared by the injection molding process. Density can be adjusted as required from 2-13 g/cm3, which can replace some traditional aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, stainless steel, and other materials with metallic texture. Its environmental advantage and shielding function of high-energy ray (X-ray, etc) make it suitable to replace the traditional lead metal alloy. It has high dimensional precision and excellent mechanical properties, which is suitable for processes such as turning, milling, drilling, and so on.
