One driving an electric vehicle around Australia - solely powered by solar, including eight chip-packet thin printed solar panels.

Attempted this, so were making it up as we go along. stuart is self—funding his trip. he wants to see if this radical new technology could play a role in the way we generate energy in the future. a strange new building is causing quite a stir in bristol in the west of england. it was created to show people how they could potentially live on mars, but with the additional aim of making them think about how they can live more sustainably on earth. wendy urquhart reports.

But this isnt about powering cars, its simply testing the technology. so its not a practical demonstration of the future of car charging because itsjust impractical to have such a huge panel collecting such a small amount of energy, when you bear in mind that this car here can take on 350 miles of charge from a super—charger in 45 minutes, so getting 100 miles of charge in ten hours is not practical. its a demonstration and a field trial of this productjust to see how it bears up. these panels...

A team from the university of newcastle in australia and an entrepreneur environmentalist from the uk have produced a solar panel that is printed, cheap and flexible. here they are — the panels contain solar cells known as organic photovoltaics or opvs. to prove that these solar panels can go where no other solar panel has been before, theyll be used to power a car driven nearly 10—thousand miles around the coast of australia. lets speak to stuart mcbain, from drive around australia — who ...

A 15,000km road trip around Australia will be powered by printed solar, rolled out to harvest the sun and then rolled up and stored in the Tesla boot.
