Give a chance to the Children in GREEN ENERGY… with accelerated investing going up, there is a small window opening doors for Contest and Science Fair Scholarships to ( liberally ) Open to any Engineering Field to the contestant Winner ( by choice ) I can see a Good Germ being found to spread … hopefully. Give it a Chance and see what the Board of Directors think… Like drawings that used to be with the Department of Engraving and The United States Postal Service in their campaign to have your drawings turned onto living Stamps… on a public scale. ( Software already exists to have your postage stamps and pictured personal photo-favs placed to something useful and guess what? Everyone gets to See them too !! at least from a ( good Company*,) standpoint !!!

[…] OPV is starting from a lowly place on the conversion efficiency totem pole, its potential for building-integrated usage puts it in a strong position in the solar industry. The relatively low conversion rate could […]

No, it will not.
It would be cheaper to buy a solar panel to generate electricity only and to buy solar panel to generate hot water only and mount both system on the roof.
If you watched the green channel, you would know that Steve put these ”new ” panels on houses 5 years ago.

At least 5 years ago these type of solar panels have been put in place on houses. I seen it on the green channel with Steve.
They generate electricity and take the heat to a storage tank to heat up water for the hot water heater and to heat the house.
At time of filming it was 40 F outside and after 5 minutes turning the system on they had 125 F hot water coming out.
Hot water solar collector would do the same thing, but would be way cheaper

This is a great idea. If that's the case then the before unused energy will be now used for good. We really need technology like this one. Home Solar Energy System

or decades we have been taught not to waste energy. We know that we should turn off lights and water when we aren’t using them. We know we should insulate our homes to prevent heat loss and cut down on air conditioning. We know everything should be done as efficiently as possible. But still we are wasting an endless amount of energy and most of this is heat energy. It follows, of course, that scientists are working to find a way to turn that waste heat back into a usable energy source.

Good initiative. It will be more cost effective.
