a solar cell is a rather simple device
Is it? I don't know too much about them, but aren't they made in clean rooms from silicon wafers at hundreds of degrees Celsius?
I'd think the way to go for printable solar power is printing concentrators, for focusing light either onto purchased solar cells, or else onto Stirling engines. A concentrator could even just be some kind of light frame for tensioning sheets of mylar or aluminum foil into the correct shape.
