He bought a 3 000 2011 nissan leaf and as you d expect for that price the battery was. Rather than producing energy directly like a photovoltaic cell the leaf splits the hydrogen and oxygen atoms which then produce electricity for personal and household use.

Except of course the grow leaves are made from 100 recyclable polyethylene covered with thin film photovoltaic modules encapsulated in tefzel. Solar that s built in not pasted on. You need to allow airflow under the panels to allow the system to work efficiently. Based on roc technology.

A standard plastic solar panel would see an efficiency dive of 70 percent after bending but the leaf like cells saw no diminished effects. This is very common particularly if you live in more rural areas or are surrounded by trees. What about a build up of leaves under your panels. Researchers at the university of oulu in finland have discovered a way to build coatings that can mimic the surface of the leaves of plants which could eventually lead to solar panels that lose.
