It was the University of Alberta. They are years away from being commercially available and use zinc. Much lower output per square foot. But yes it would be great.

Greetings .. as an FYI ... a university (name escapes me) has invented a SPRAY ON photovoltaic membrane onto any surface, even FLEXIBLE surfaces.
PRO:
Imagine your awnings coated with this film. Humungous area for generating electricity.
CON:
Still in development phase and voltage output is still low at this point.
Don't hold your breath though and go with your ideas that you have now.
