Standford scientists create self-adhesive solar panels to make getting energy easier

When it comes to renewable energy, solar appears as the largest source available. In buildings or even houses, it is already possible to observe the real presence of solar panels. However, the impracticality of this capture technique prevents this type of energy from being widely disseminated.

Xiaolin Zheng, a Stanford nanoscientist, observed as a child the difficulties her parents faced when deciding to opt for solar energy panels. As they lived in a building, Zheng's parents had to compete for space with their neighbors, who also wanted to install panels on the building's roof. It was then that the future scientist overheard her father mention that if she could just put a panel through the window, it would be much easier.

This experience made Zheng grow up with a dream that has just come true. Together with other scientists, Zheng has developed adhesive and flexible solar panels, which not only facilitate their application on various surfaces, but also reduce the costs of capturing energy.
