Solar technology has been at the forefront of renewable energy for some time now, but certain new innovations have it poised to be the power source for what will soon be the biggest cash crop in the US.
Have you heard of Perovskite? Perovskite is a new solar cell currently under research that unlike previous types of solar cells, can be nearly transparent.
It also has the potential for spray on applications. Long story short, the future of solar power will be large transparent buildings powered by Perovskites.

In recent weeks, scientists from around the world have found that by adding a certain amount of Guanidinium, they can increase the efficiency of these cells by 19-25%.
Considering the fact that your average state of the art “cannabis farm” looks more like the above photo than your traditional farm, and requires a lot of extra power year round for all of the supplemental lighting, water pumps, climate control etc, and that greenhouses don’t need to be totally transparent, the possibilities really are endless.

Aside from being able to produce enough power to cover their own needs, the cannabis industry could likely create enough reserve power using Perovskites to create an excess which could be sold back to the grid, or used for tax breaks. Or any number of ways.
The cannabis industry wants solar. Perovskites are the future. This could be the next Bitcoin type opportunity...
