First slide: The purpose of “Solar paint” invention is to generate inexpensive electricity because various efforts have been made for this kind of power generation over the previous few decades. It is an environment friendly technology which has eliminated the need of solar cell. It is completely reasonable and sustainable. Solar paint is consisted of organic solar cell paint. These organic solar cells are protected from water through ecofriendly synthetic sheets for example PET and therefore
