Solar tile house paint - This animation illustrates the use of tiny solar tiles that could actually be inside of paint that you could put on your house. In this animation the paint is used on the roof, which would be the best place for solar tiles. When the sunlight hits the solar paint, you create energy that you use to run appliances and lighting in your home. Solar tile paint would be extremely cheap and durable because they are manufactured to molecular precision. Click here to watch the movie (.mov 10,620kb).
