Next Generation of Cheap Solar Cells
May 15th, 2010
****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 …

this is cool. why hasnt this caught on yet?
Indium will run out in 15 years
SO……….if we jump on this …15 years we could all be covered
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.
plus by that time im sure they will fine new and better ways to make it
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..
@stonecoldjason lol what he said wasnt nice, nfact the shit was funny but it seems pretty true, and i support green energy.
@spanishaustralian lmfao..HELL NAWLL XD!!!!!!
u know the sad part thou…..what u jus said was right on da money.
@steveman223
yeah right nothin is coming and even if it did they will stil tax the shit 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.
why was silicon so expensive though it’s the one of the most common elements on earth
Very common, expensive to purify.
Well stop the talking about it and DO IT!!!!!
So how durable is this stuff. One of the main drawbacks of solar is that durable panels are expensive, and affordable ones are junk.
@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
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.

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

That would be great to “paint” onto an electric car. You listening Nissan?
Great!!!
Wait, ok, so they are saying that they able to take cheap as shit semiconductor material, maybe dope them to form a P-N junction, and then immediately connect that shit up?
@o00o0o0o0o0o because i can see myself maybe making this shit at home
I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas….
I’ve been wondering if solar panels could instead be solar cubes. I was thinking like sponges with tiny pores so that light is taken from every angle and it has a chance to bounce throughout the structure. I am no scientist, just curious. Thanks.
