Lumeta: peel & stick solar - 2.25 kw in 34 minutes

thats what I`m talking about..LOL
It the price is right we are good to go..
I like the idea of peel and stick solar panels..
What i worry about most is the price..

Interesting idea, but they need to address some issues when they present this mounting technology if they want market acceptance...

Some kind of weird roof prep first - it's shiny. Also ... panels need air underneath to stay cool for optimal efficiency ... 1/2% per degree. Also, electrical connectors nearly flush with the ground ... reliability problems? non-angled ... pooling water ... water deposit problems? Adhesive lifetime testing data?

Mstaff657 - which oil company do you work for? Must be the only reason you're against people spending their own money to become energy independent. If you have a problem with government incentives to develop a resource that comes to your FREE every day, you should also have a problem with paying a TRILLION bucks so we can have 220 military bases around the world.

The google staff persons' video on their home solar panels is in YouTube.

Search in YouTube: "Google My own solar system installing"

These persons are financially very well off most would assume, but thse are the same panels for anyone. In the vid. the man with the dormer style home may be more inspiring than the man who seems to spen an arm and a leg on panels in his back garden. But it seems the prices are to fall.

The film is nearly film length - it is worth it when you've some time

I don't know why some people suddenly call solar PV a scam. I've never come across it before. If it were a scam, a lot of people would be saying that. It is expensive as a payment, but, again, will be recouped and after will save a good amount. These are the facts and there's no other way to look at it than an upfront investment.

Don't be rash, though - it's not cheap. After the panels come:
a big inverter or 2, grid sending equipment (v. expensive) and / or batteries, installation.

The $1 a watt solar cells are here and the 1st ones are going to coming out of Germany with a plant being built in San Jose, CA. Just watch out then when one can put 5000 to 10000 watts on his roof and charge his electric cars up and run the air conditioner and even a machine to draw water out of the air. So long oil and water companies. LOL

<<< cont
... but there are many who power their whole homes by solar, and many, many, many more who want to.

I watched the video made by some of the chiefs at Google who chose to power all of their home energy from common or garden (not latest nor most expensive technology) solar P.V. panels from bp, ge, sharp (those companies are old & huge, they will not disappear). The video evidence is clear - their meters run backwards every day, selling elec. to the grid.

It will make you feel good.

Even if you choose just 1 reasonably high power consuming device, say a flat screen T.V. used a lot - to make up its power alone from solar energy - you will appreciate the benefits within 5-10 years.

No one is suggesting to people that you need to, today, tommorrow or next year, power your whole home from solar power. Within 3 years if most people power their L.C.D. T.V.s, the pollution decrease would be very big. And that's a brilliant way to try it.

Then expand if and when you want.

Save the World rocky.
just quit doing it with our tax dollars
