Default Re: Are you using solar?

Flat silicon PV panels are expensive per square meter and very inefficient. An Australian owned company is about to go public with an IPO in Germany with a new type of solar power system. It uses a parabolic system to concentrate the suns energy, and is not using silicon PV cells.

They will be able to power an average western home for less than ½ the price of a conventional flat panel system.
