Submission + - New Solar Energy Breakthrough
Cognitive Dissident writes: "According to green blogging site Celsias, a company called Nanosolar has developed a new method for producing solar cells more cheaply and quickly then ever before. "Their PowerSheet cells contrast the current solar technology systems by reducing the cost of production from $3 a watt to a mere 30 cents per watt. This makes, for the first time in history, solar power cheaper than burning coal." Videos of their manufacturing process in action are available on their main page. Their full-scale manufacturing plant goes online next year. Is this the beginning of the solar power revolution?"
