Next Generation of Cheap Solar Cells
****Since all the comments seem to be either 100% positive or 100% negative about this solar technology i would like to clear up some some misconceptions. First of all I’d imagine that takes years to set up the the precision equipment for 2 of the largest solar panel manufacturing plants in the world and be able to print solar photo cells as fast as newspaper. After the plant was completed in 2007 the first focus was on commercial uses and their first costumers where municipal utility companies. This sounds to me like a good business tactic to help you establish a successful business from the start. Next they started offering it to electrical contractors as part of a beta testing process so they can work out the kinks that arise from scaling down their panels from large commercial ones to the ones that you can use on your house. That is where were at today. After the beta testing they will start offering them to the general public. Their website even has a place to enter your email address to be notified when this technology will be available to you the home owner. Its a process and that apparently some people out there believe happens over night. This company immediately got more financial backing then needed. Google is one of the biggest investors so I believe its all legitimate. There are two benefits from the use of alternative energy. It will save you money but also it means that energy produced is done so with out creating pollution. This is good for everybody. Even though the technology isn’t yet available for you to install on your home to help save money the fact that utility companies use it to create energy still means means less pollution for us all. . ***** 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.

Great!!!
Great!!!
That would be great …
That would be great to “paint” onto an electric car. You listening Nissan?
I invented a …
I invented a breakthrough source of energy that contradicts the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena that contradict the law of conservation of energy. I am looking for $6M for a prototype and patents.

Ummm… I went to …
Ummm… I went to their website and they’re showing photos of their factories… with no solar panels on the roof! that’s pathetic

I hear ya. It is like wondering why there is drought in regions of a planet that has a surface area that is comprised of a majority of water? Especially when technologies like HAARP, cloud seeding, as well as desalination and pumps exist?
if you truely want …
if you truely want to change the world you must support Congressman Ron Paul and help get him eleected president. everyone must help. please man i ant screwing around.
@spanishaustralian …
@spanishaustralian Yeah unless the people of the world wake up and rebel against the corporations, the governments and change this damned system where corrupt people rule our lives! I hope im not being over dramatic
So how durable is …
So how durable is this stuff. One of the main drawbacks of solar is that durable panels are expensive, and affordable ones are junk.
Well stop the …
Well stop the talking about it and DO IT!!!!!
Very common, …
Very common, expensive to purify.
why was silicon so …
why was silicon so expensive though it’s the one of the most common elements on earth
@steveman223
yeah …
@steveman223
yeah right nothin is coming and even if it did they will stil tax the out of you for the free energy device. the oil cartel is working very hard to attach itself to these inventions to make sure they dont abolish there profits. nothin good is coming we wil still be heavily taxed and controlled.
@spanishaustralian …
@spanishaustralian lmfao..HELL NAWLL XD!!!!!!
u know the sad part thou…..what u jus said was right on da money.
@stonecoldjason lol …
@stonecoldjason lol what he said wasnt nice, nfact the was funny but it seems pretty true, and i support green energy.
So why don’t you …
So why don’t you just start selling it for affordable price? I don’t think making solar cells or panels is that expensive.We have machinery to make tiny electronic parts,so why not build more to make solar panel factory and finnaly start to give that thing out for a few cents per watt!!!you will see the fast transformation from burning coal or buying oil..
plus by that time …
plus by that time im sure they will fine new and better ways to make it
Actually some …
Actually some people say 15 years, the people that mine it say because of better extracting processes their is enough to sustain us long term. who knows what the truth is but 40 times more silver is mined then indium and its 3 times less abundant on earth.
SO……….if we …
SO……….if we jump on this …15 years we could all be covered
Indium will run out …
Indium will run out in 15 years
this is cool. why …
this is cool. why hasnt this caught on yet?
lol
lol
lol, its cool
lol, its cool
Yak Yak Yak, it all …
Yak Yak Yak, it all useless unless the one can buy them.
Pipe dream.
They …
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 will thanks …
I will thanks electronic parts donations, like PV solar cells, high brigh LEDs and NiMH or LiIon batteries to make lighting devices for poor comunities here in Brazil.
