Korean researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to create efficient large-area organic photovoltaic cells, opening the door to applications such as plastic-based photovoltaic paint.
This looks better “Quantum dots, also known as photovoltaic paint, were developed at the University of Toronto. They are nanoscale semiconductors that can capture light and turn it into an electric current.”
Solar paint: the next big thing in renewable energy?
Solar paint actually refers to 3 different exciting technologies: hydrogen-producing paint, quantum dots & perovskites. We explain them all in this blog.

This would revolutionise things if it works and is cheap enough – not just on building roofs but on cars too.
should be a thing already – more info here

This stuff could be great for irregular shaped buildings that want to catch some rays.
