Think BIG Solar Wrap

PaulCherney

We need to implement Solar wrap technology—ultra-thin, flexible solar film that can be wrapped around skyscrapers, paved into sidewalks, and even built into the windows of our school. This would turn every city into a self-sustaining battery. Imagine if your school building produced enough energy not just for its own lights, but to power the neighborhood around it. We wouldn’t need massive, polluting power plants miles away.

Hi, so I do not fully agree with your point of view. I don't think that solar wrap technology and the creation of new solar films would be an effective solution to reduce carbon emissions.

Indeed, the issue of the already existing solar panels is that they pollute a lot when they are worn out. Indeed, they only last for several years before they have to be replaced. Then, most of the solar panels components are not recycled, thus creating pollution.

Therefore, I think that these solar films could have the same issue like the solar panels. So I do not think that what you propose is a sustainable solution.

The real problem here, is whether we change or not our ways of consuming.
