The compounds solar panels are comprised of are compartmentalized in a handheld container, with the appropriate solvents. The compartments are sequentially accessed at an extremely rapid rate and sprayed through a common nozzle.

       Not magic, just not cost effective technology, and handheld is probably a gross exaggeration. This thing would be the size of an oil drum.   

       I have also realized that just because it may be able to lay down a sequence of layers in a given area (ignoring the low probablility that each layer will dry in the short period of time before the next one comes down) that I have no means of interconnecting the areas in the XY axis.   

       And, it looks like, baked, per [Shz]'s link.   

       Oh well, I was only having a bit of fun at the Solar Panel Printer idea.

       i really don't think it could work ...cause trying to spray a solar panel on to a wall is like trying to make a rock haggen in mid air with nothing supporting it ....because a solar panel is constructed of siclon wich is a metalliod so it is hard like rock so that could come out of a can and besides that wat about the wires ....just a thought
