New plastic solar cells show promise for developing world

Danish scientists have built a new type of plastic solar cell that lasts significantly longer than previous versions and could pave the wave for cheaper solar power.

Plastic cells cost only a fraction as much as the more common silicon cells used in solar-powered products, such as calculators. But plastic cells typically are fragile and only last for a few days.
