Advanced Photovoltaic Solar Power Films, The Next Generation

http://www.homemadepowerplant.com/?hop=adonpub A remarkable, new company, Konarka, a solar energy company based in Lowell, Massachusetts, is developing and producing organic thin-film solar photovoltaic films. These photovoltaic films are being printed on an adapted label maker machine. The process is much more cost effect than the traditional method of manufacturing crystalline photovoltaics. Start looking for the cost of solar electric power systems to come down. These new solar energy films could easily become the next-generation solar panels of the future.

@docchocobo Please do some research into what you are saying before you make a statement like you have.  Thin film is no were near efficient as Mono or Poly. There is a breakdown in the thin film material in just a few years and that's why it's not warranted like your solar modules. I currently work for a company as an educator who's product is warranted for 30 years. Thin film is no where close to that. Also, this product will never power a home as there is not enough room.

nice innovate

would love to use our eco home in uk as a test bed ?

Sounds like somebody is strongly braking "solar evolution''...?

Put it in wal-mart and people will snap it up. 'solar distributers' are glorified 'used car salesmen' who will jack the price up to the same $5 per watt they are overcharging for all the older technologies. Everything we have is thinfilm because we could by it in a big box store. This after buying ONE polycrystaline and getting taken for a ride and paying more than it was worth. NEVER AGAIN! Put it in a big box store and bypass the flim flam artist and it will sell.

Ah.....that's right, stupid me.

Massachusetts has MIT.

Funny PV power still 4 times higher

Okay great, nothing against Massachusetts, a nice place with nice folks. Here's my question. Why does Massachusetts have such a large number os energy related companies? What about the state of Massachusetts brings this about? I'd like to know. Because I feel all states should be equally involved so why Massachusetts and why not your state too????

Your hanging around the wrond type of black people dude.
