Paint, clothing, car batteries, rooftop coverings, a large list of uses if they perfect this enough to have real world application. Would this translate into computer chip tech in any way? Thanks for the thread.

These solar cells, typically, used to be chips. It is a recycling aspect of the semiconductor industry. Take all the transistors, diodes, op-amps, memory, and computer chips that are defective, grind them up and call the ground up dust amorphous silicon. Then, heat them to a vapor and deposit the vapor on whatever you want and it forms a silicon photocell capable of generating electricity in the presence of light. OR you can use the re-deposited vapor as a biasing layer in making LCD video displays.
They’re already doing this.
