SOLAIC: DIY SOLAR CELLS

Examples in Action

Solaic is an ongoing research project that documents informal methods of making Natural Dye Solar Cells. Originating from the thesis projects of undergraduate students in NYC, Solaic has become a traveling workshop and online resource for all interested in learning about harvesting the power of the sun.
