New solar power technology

Posted by Alex Payson at 4:00 pm

A Utah based company recently announced that they have designed a vastly improved solar panel. They claim that their solar panels will be able to produce energy at a cost comparable to traditional fossil fuel sources, with an estimated generation cost of 5-10 cents/kWh.
Now this sounds a bit too good to be true, so take this announcement with a grain of salt. But if they have managed to make a solar panel that is as good as they claim, then kudos to them. We are certainly in need of renewable energy sources right about now…

Read the entire press release here, and judge for yourself.

I love solar power I think over the next few years it’s going to be exploding even more… as performance of solar panels goes up people are going to be adopting it everywhere they can… after all it’s free energy :) BTW here is more solar power information -> Solar Power

Bart-
Thanks for the link to the website- there is some great information there! Do you have any idea if the claims made by the company in the above post are realistic?
