I know, don’t worry when nanomaterial spray on or not is used for energy accumulation, it will be a good day.

The mote of truth in your comment is that this is another laboratory finding. The post title is wrong to suggest that this will lower production costs. It may, or it may be beaten by one of the many other competing innovations, or plain vanilla silicon will beat them all. Would you bet the farm on option 3?

Wait the head line is missing a word. “might” “may” “could” and then a another line. After a lot more R&D research and development.

And, with the price of a barrel of crude oil now in the midst of another totally fraudulent, engineered price shock (As of right now it’s over $110 a barrel and some say it could go to $130 a barrel), this technology, like all renewable energy, becomes overwhelmingly cost effective and appealing to the average consumer of energy.

“The possibility of a short-term Nato-led military strike on Syria has intensified concerns over security of oil supply and could cause a spike in range of $120-$130 per barrel, according to a report released by BofA Merrill Lynch.”

I am happy that big oil war profiteers are shooting themselves in the foot with these price hikes!
Renewable energy will receive an enormous boost from big oil’s uncontrollable predatory greed. Good!

NanaSolar was a name. They didn’t make it in the thin-film business but First Solar, a thin-film manufacturer is a big time player.

To predict that no new technology will emerge that is better/cheaper than current technology requires a very high quality crystal ball. Or a desire to wear egg on ones face.

yawn. Been promising this for the last 10 years. Nanosolar was supposed to be that company to bring it to market, but they didnt deliver for whatever reason. Big bulky Silicon will be the king of solar. It keeps getting cheaper. All other tech will only fill niche markets.
