3D Solar Cell Invented Or Copied From Georgia Tech!?!

ok kid build ur own fab lets see how far you will go...your 3D effect thing might be used by solar cell fab process nowadays... sunpower used random texture to capture more sunlight

Like finding a cure for cancer... by googling after it's discovered :-P Don't forget: the teacher is also to blame for this act of plagerism.

Good for you William:) Thanks for thinking globally.

I just got 50 pcs of 5" x 5" KPE monocrystalline solar cells for $169! Beauitful full size solar cells. Offer is going on until Sunday, July 12th, 2009.

Got them from Solar-Deals(.)com

Well if Georgia Tech invented it in 2007 it should be available for consumers about 2050 providing there is still a planet here to make them on

What a stuck up little puke. I am a chemist and patent attorney with knowledge of nanotechnology (it's actually pretty easy stuff), and I have studied the patent and articles owned by Georgia Tech and they are the same technology. This little shit needs to go to China if he want to successfully steal US technology and get away with it. What BS!! No, I DON'T think his future is bright. Although dumb ass media can't figure it out, real scientists will and he is toast.

Besides, If he is smart enough to invent a 3D solar panel, should he be smart enough to realize it's worth more than $25,000.00?

So do something about it.

Well everybody! It appears that the 3D Solar Cell had been in fact invented, published, and a patent pending in mid 2007 from Georgia Tech with funding from USAF! So, this young man has either done a parallel invention in a one year trail of others, or he is well read and presented someone elses ideas...before he accepts the 25 grand, I hope he thinks about whether it was his own innovation, or someone elses! Thanks for the comments!! I learned a bit about solar energy tonight! Lights out! lol

This kid is retarded. If you steal ideas and hard work from a Georgia Tech researcher -- OLD results published in 2007 -- at least change everything around so no one knows (who is bound to have a patent on it).

He even kept the exact same name. If he accepts a $25,000 award on Monday, then his stupidity will break world records.
