I beliveve there could be a possiblity that on the south face of most buildings a bank of photoelectric gel could absorb, maintain, and store the required capacity to power most homes and busisness.

Do you mean photoelectric cells? Any particular reason you are advocating a gel?

When do you think that this type of proposal will be economically feasible? Not in the next year or two, but maybe in the next decade or two?
