Gurgh asked:


Does anyone know why Nanosolar cells aren’t put into mass production yet?

here is there website: www.nanosolar.com/technology.htm
I have emailed them several times but no replies.

When will they hit the U.S. market?

Nanosolar Panels

There has been a lot of buzz lately about solar film, also called flexible or foldable, solar panels. This is an emerging technology and could completely revolutionize renewable energy. Thin film solar most often uses CIGS (copper indium gallium (di)selenide) technology or amorphous silicon, which are much cheaper and easier to manufacture than the standard solar crystalline panels we’re used to seeing. Let’s break down the different advantages and disadvantages of this new and exciting technology.
