And using a 'solar paint' to paint onto uneven surfaces such as the sides of buildings screams inefficiency to me. The technology is definately worth working on however, because of the potential cost savings that could be achieved with being able to paint solar panels. Once the technology has been shown to work, the manufacturing processes can be cleaned up.
