Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Seems an interesting thing but it is very light on details.

Hi guys

just thought I'd Let you know the panels you are talking about are called CIGS panels and this stands for (copper indium gallium selenide).

It is a thin film technology and it can be applied to any surface by spraying. Cheaper than silicon panels but not as efficient. Best sillicon is around 22% efficient and Best CIGS 15-16% efficient real world numbers.

There talking $2.50/W by 2010 including installation an other costs.

I want them now


Cheers

hi Christian
they say in the article:
The new, highly efficient and cheap alloy solar panel is much more efficient than the costly old silicone solar panels.

so lets hope they are not once agan trying to pull tghe wool ovwer the eyes of a gullible public.

CIGS certainly IS looking most promising, with the likes of Honda now devoting almost all their solar PV efforts towards it. Try a Google " CIGS solar" for more insights- that % efficeiency compares with run of the mill 5-10% Si PV apparently. Stan
