The hybrid material is a result of combining electrically conductive plastic [...]

Enterprising startups (Sungevity for example) exploit the growing interest in solar power for either public or private use. In spite of solar’s advantages, solar systems have proven to be costly on installation.  Typically installation is slow and has a few unwanted side effects, such as drilling holes in roofs (sometimes leading to compromises in structural [...]
