Shashank Priya led a team of mechanical and materials engineers and chemists at Virginia Tech University. What they have produced is a flexible solar panel that can be inserted into window shades or wallpaper, which will capture light from the sun and from sources inside the building itself. Most silicon panels can only absorb sunlight, unlike flexible panels which can absorb diffused light. The panels can also be constructed into different variations, which gives it an advantage over silicon based panels. The different sources of light that the panels can absorb are LED, incandescent, and fluorescent fixtures.
