Abstract

A method for fabricating a multifunctional composite panel is disclosed. The method can include forming a plurality of structural layers, and forming a plurality of photovoltaic layers adjacent the plurality of structural layers. Forming the plurality of structural layers can include forming alternating layers of a conductive organic material and an inorganic material. Forming the alternating layers can include forming a first layer from the conductive organic material, and forming a second layer adjacent the first layer from the inorganic material. The multifunctional composite panel can have a thickness of from about 1 mm to about 30 mm.
