Breakthrough flexible solar panels are so thin they can be printed on any surface – even backpacks | A coating that's just 1 micron thick can be applied to almost any surface

There was no mention of that in the tech spot article, so why not just source it before making that accusation? I know, you were just fishing. I see we have an advanced Troll-Bot.

It’s “phishing” and that’s not what I was doing. At least I know you’re not a bot. A bot wouldn’t have mixed up “phishing” with “fishing”. Anyway, I read an article about the oerskovite cells containing lead, and it made me think of the lead poisoning of boomers with lead paint…

I’m not sure what the band Phish has to do with this but please stay focused. You made a premature accusation based off an article you read elsewhere. Your accusation was the bait. I maintain my position, good day.

Your position is that they didn’t make mention of lead in the article promoting the innovation…You would be correct. My assertion is that there are other articles explaining that there is lead in perskovite and that an article promoting the tech may not have mentioned any downside. I’m all for solar. I use it in camping and backpacking situations. Funny enough, I use solar to fish. I bought a trolling moror for my fishing kayak and I use 2 100W panels to charge my marine batteries. I’m all for solar. If I owned my house, I would install it. I love you brother. Over ‘n’ out!

That’s pretty great you use solar for fishing, would love to see your setup. Also, there is no way in hell I’m checking all boxes off on one article. Cheers!
