Start-Up Sells Solar Panels at Lower-Than-Usual Cost

clipped from www.nytimes.com
Nanosolar, a heavily financed Silicon Valley start-up whose backers include Google’s co-founders, plans to announce Tuesday that it has begun selling its innovative solar panels, which are made using a technique that is being held out as the future of solar power manufacturing.
The company, which has raised $150 million and built a 200,000-square-foot factory here, is developing a new manufacturing process that “prints” photovoltaic material on aluminum backing, a process the company says will reduce the manufacturing cost of the basic photovoltaic module by more than 80 percent.
Nanosolar, which recently hired a top manufacturing executive from I.B.M., said that it had orders for its first 18 months of manufacturing capacity. The photovoltaic panels will be made in Silicon Valley and in a second plant in Germany.

I'm the kind of guy who passions to seek unused stuff. Currently I am making my personal pv panels. I'm making it all alone without the assistance of my men. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive that. I came across a really awesome site that explains how to create solar panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.

I am not really sure bout how correct the information given there iz. If some experts over here who had experience with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it would be great and I would really treasure it, because I extremely love solar panel construction.

Thanks for reading this. U guys are great.

Hoωԁy would уou mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm plаnnіng to start my own blog іn the neаr future
but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm
lοoking for something completеly unique.
