Innovalight is experimenting with copper indium gallium selenide in their solar inks. They have been working with silicon inks for solar since 2002. They don’t mention the copper on their site, but I have found a couple of news stories around the net. They are about 10 minutes away from me. Maybe I’ll pay them a visit and ask them what’s up with the copper. 🙂

David Ginger was working strictly with the carbon based polymers and the effect of the heat on the bubbles and gaps in the plastics.

I read it once in an article recently but can’t remember where, who, or even when I read about it. What I do remember is that the copper compound (they doped something with it I think), instead of silicon resulted in them being able to harvest a huge amount more of the sun’s spectrum than conventional cells do now and at a fraction of the cost per cell to make.
From the description of David Ginger’s work I’m wondering if that is what you’re referring to. Any idea if that’s the same thing? Are they using copper too, in the plastic polymers?
Curious,
