this company has been over-promising for a half a decade. Now GE has entered the game with big money. This company is just pr and poop.

I thought copper is also expensive, isn´t it?
But 99 cent per Watt is a great number. How about the efficiency of such panels?

I would like to start solar grid power manufaturing (power project) plants in India how i get guidlines for that also i am looking for which company’s are supplying compents for thta

Yeah, that was my first thought. One of the most abundant elements on the planet is clearly much more expensive than one of the rarest.

This is a neat technology, but the problem with many thin-film photovoltaic devices is that they use indium. No matter how little you use, there is so little indium on earth that it simply isn’t economically feasible for large-scale mass production. At best, it’s a stop-gap until better indium-free photovoltaic devices are developed.

Einstein cycle fridges, solar driven and super-insulated (currently hidden by corporatists from Americans), Eco-shelters of reasonable size, LED lights, and other commonly available technologies, combined with Solar, Wind, derived electricity can make for comfortable lifestyle after the dollar crash necessitates it, right after the price of oil goes from the current $80.00/bbl to over $100.00/bbl and rises from there to astronomical numbers as Asian demands increase pressure upwards and wells in OPEC territories dry out! Americans currently victims of oil barons, as Euro-diesels out-perform our gas models at 40% higher efficiencies but we resist due to fuel oil price manipulations and the combined supporting propaganda! American dollar no longer strong enough to command the 80% of worlds finite resources required to maintain American “Status Quo”! Somethings got to give, and it looks like Yankee Doodle has benn elected one more time! Good candidate, with his thick brow, strong back and tendency to trust the corporatists lies!

the auction for the solar panel was cancelled by ebay because it was for charity, as per nanosolar’s blog:

I would be greatly impressed to see 99 cent per watt solar solutions. In fact, I am looking to purchase. When will this be available?
