8 cents / kWh - new solar concept


looks like solar is marching ahead. this is a different solar cell concept that achieves 8 cents per kilowatt hour (the current average cost of solar pv in the us is 10-15 cents; the current cost of retail electricity in the us is 12 cents). the cost of solar is coming down so steeply that maintaining current electricity utility systems will become untenable within 5 years. remember what phones looked like 30 years ago and what they look like now (over and above how their functionality has changed) - solar - in look, feel, functionality and efficiency - is bound for similar transformation...
