Eco Tech:Powering Up: Solar

[raywebb21190]

The main problem with thin film solar is that the conductive bars that are printed on them deteriorate in sunlight, the most practicle ones are amourphus and polycrytaline solar

it all most 2011 so where the hell are these things

i hope this guy doesnt sell out or get killed

As long as what happened to Ovshimsky (battery for electric car) doesn't happen to him, we'll be okay.

Woohoo! One year left to go!!

Let's just hope some multi-billion dollar oil corp with a multi-billion dollar buyout plan doesn't come along to sweep this under the rug. It won't be the first time in history this type of innovation was bought up and retired into the dust bins.

[aicram62]

okay, you said what I said, only better.

[danndan6]

all he needs now is good marketing. there is no reason why we would use any other solar tool EVER. i hope he exceeds his own expectations

[trxmedia]

nobel prize material indeed... this is awesome.

[danndan6]

ditto

[sgtmcwallace]

don't hate, this is some nobel prize material

[krawlr]

It's not hate it's frustration. I've been hearing this "$1/watt" hype for years now.

[krawlr]

Cheaper my ass! Somebody show me where I can buy flexible panels at a lower dollar per watt than hard panels. I saw something about these probably 2yrs ago. I'd really like to get a PV system up and running but with the initial cost and effort I'll stick with grid power. 10cents/watt would be a no brainer.

Nanosolar

They are already a year behind in production but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
