Next Generation of Cheap Solar Cells

New technology uses cheaper materials instead of expensive silicon crystals. These new solar cells are projected to cost 1/10th of what the more expensive silicon cells cost.

Pipe dream.
They are only selling to government agencies and utility companies.
The average homeowner will never see low cost solar cells unless they buy scratch & dent silicon cells for $2-3 a watt.
I hate companies who make these claims with no intent on making the technology available to the general public.

I have found 200 watts panels for $400.00
At 8000 watts the cost would be $16,000.00 with out installation.
You're right about the over charge from installers, most panels run $3.00 to $2.00 per watt.....

OverUnityNow1 - thats a good price for solar panels ($2/watt). The place I live requires UL certified panels when connecting to the grid. Are the solar panels that you mentioned UL certified? I am considering a 1000 watt ground mount array so I can install it myself and then have an electrician connect the final wiring.
