    I read a report from a European company that was talking about solar collector paint. It was a long time ago and I lost the link.

    do you really want all your windows and skylights pointing at the sun,sounds like a hot house to me,right now solar panels are dirt cheap,I'd hate to see what that would cost to do,probably many times more than current technology
