If I use quantum paint does that mean if I wait until tomorrow to paint my house it will show up painted today?

All of a sudden I'm less excited.
the paint form is currently about five times less efficient than the highest recorded efficiency for the multifilm form

No. It means that no matter when you paint it, you can never really be sure you did.

Sherman Williams tried to sell me this stuff today....$2,000 per gallon. Payback was some time after my great great grandchild would hit 65. /s

It means you’ve already painted, are currently painting it, and will paint it in at infinite amount of colors with your wife nagging you infinitely because it never seems to get done.

No, but if you paint your car and run over a cat, the cat remains alive just as long as you don’t look at it.

Depends upon whether the “cheap” aspect holds up in comparison, doesn’t it?
If it’s 10X less costly, then 5X less efficient won’t be all that big a concern. The price to power a well pump, hot water heater, heatpump or a whole house would still be cut in half compared to multifilm if that were the case. Well, less inverters, etcetera which may or may not be equivalent.
To: freedumb2003
It means you may have painted it, or you may be going to paint it, but whether you did/do or not, you can/will never be certain if you did/do—but you can always ask your cat.

I am actually hopeful about some sort of cheap solar power. It’s my best shot at getting off the grid and I suspect it is for most of us who want to have a lot less to do with power companies. This could be cool.

Although the paint form is currently about five times less efficient than the highest recorded efficiency for the multifilm form Just make the area 5 times larger...like on a huge solar farm.

Too bad cadmium is carcinogenic. The environmental regulatory costs of using cadmium sulfate instead of TiO2 may well offset the other savings.

But it makes up for it in cost.
For about the same that it would cost you to paint your house, you could coat your house with this stuff and keep your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
