I can't imagine how you get the electrons from it. Do you simply put two cables anywhere on the surface ?
A common solar cell is a small surface and any point is close to a cable. Does a car roof can be considered a big single solar cell ?
How does an irregular surface can work ? What if the surface is concave and/or convex ?
At least with current solar cells, each one has a voltage and an amperage so you can build a panel able to charge a battery. How do you calculate the potential voltage and amperage of any surface ?
Also, what happens when 2 surfaces are put in contact ?
And...
Of course such a technology could be very interesting, but currently I can't imagine how technically it can be used.
