plastic solar cells that convert infrared rays in electricity

[look]

it's my opinion that governments should invest more money in the search for solar cells that can convert infrared rays in electricity because there would be a side effect, itwould diminish the temperature in summer.

it seems some advances have been made,. This article is not so clear like i desire, but is what i find.

when i read this, i ask: is that a big advance by the indians or are there some advertisment exagerations?

How much does it cost, how reliable is it, what is the expected service life,... a whole host of business questions that can either make or break a technology.

If this stuff is any good private enterprise will build it, if it isn't it will remain as yet another scientific result with no practical use.

I agree it is worthwhile to look at, but not by the government. The Govt has already spent (and continues to spend) millions a year on FIT funding the early adopters of solar technology that kickstarted the interest and got the infrastructure for the industtry in place.

This would be a commercial venture, and I'm pretty sure all the big players are also looking to this route.
