They don't want to market the paint yet.
It would destroy the energy sector financially.
The printable cells are being trialled in Newcastle this summer. 6 dollars a sq metre is the wholesale price of those.
They're about 20 times as cost effective as solar cells.
If you could buy the paint and a set of batteries, you could go off grid in about 4 hours.... forever. How would the economy work then?
The printable cells are at least renewable as they probably can be printed to have a use by date.
