Solar Energy Paint for Buildings (Video)

This video crossed my desk recently and I thought it would be fun to show you. Can you imagine a paint that you could apply to your building’s façade that would utilize the solar energy it collects to power the building itself? Researchers at the California Institute of Technology are working on just this.

Nanostructures would be engineered to capture sunlight in new ways to ultimately make solar electricity cheap. In turn, this would result in make solar energy more accessible to more people. Titanium oxide is a key ingredient that would make all of this possible.

Watch the video below to see exactly how this all would work:
