Just wanted to point out that your comparisons to efficiencies of c-si panels is dramatically off base: SunPower highest efficiency panels are their E19 series which has an efficiency of about 19% (they have reported a record CELL efficiency as high as 24.2% –much smaller size than a module). Traditional c-Si panels are not closer to 20% efficiency. On the contrary, the average is 14-15% efficiency. What is exciting about this story is that Miasole’s reported efficiency of 15.7% put their thin film tecnology right on top of today’s c-Si traditional panels. However, their panels use thin film technology which has a much lower cost!

30% – Really? Can you site a reference for this?

Is that true? I don’t see anything in the story about it. Did you talk to MiaSole?
