Thin-film photovoltaic (PV) laminates

Installing clean, reliable, inflation-proof solar power is easier than ever, thanks to the invention of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) laminates that can be bonded directly onto metal roofing panels. Unlike crystalline PV material, there’s no need for obtrusive racks and heavy, expensive glass. Instead, unbreakable thin-film PV is produced using amorphous silicon, encapsulated in Teflon and other polymers.

Is it possible to turn my unused detached garage as a huge solar collector/power plant for my home?

Nadar is part of the GREEEEEN party in other words a NEO-CON just like the BUSH family. I like what JESUS has to offer not man kind. Later

hey i am from india, how do i go about if i want to install one.
Here is a way that …
Here is a way that a residential house could effectively store solar energy during the five hours of good sunshine, to last for the full twenty-four hours. Use a hydraulic elevator system lifting a very heavy weight, where the energy is stored by the gravity of the weight. When the sun goes down,or when more power is needed during the five hours of good sunshine, the very heavy weight movement is reversed and the hydraulics is used to generate power.

That’s probably true, but I’ve heard the thin film stuff is very inexpensive. The price I’ve seen on those 200+W panels in general has been $1200-$3000 per panel!

i look really light weight, easy to set up and pull down; perfect for us in hurricane prone areas.

A 2kW system? Yikes! That means ten modern 200+W solar panels could outproduce that entire roof. You’re going to need an awfully big roof to get any decent amount of power with this low-efficiency thinfilm.

What the would you have done back in the day when you actually had to look up?
Rhead, you can buy …
Rhead, you can buy it from solar suppliers, or solar integrator can install it for you. It may seem obvious, but you do need a standing seam metal roof, which most solar installers do not do. So you need both a metal roofing contractor to do a professional roof install and a solar integrator. That is unless you are a DIY type of person….
It is pricy: $9-12 per sq. foot for metal roof and $8-12 per W for solar.

give it time, these will soon be cheap. Basically solar cell performance is following moore’s law. Ray Kurzweil talks about this quite a bit.

Your right the info is there but you really have to dig to find it. Coast of this system is better BUT it still takes too long to pay for itself. About 8 to 10 years. I am looking for something that will pay for itself in Less, than 4 years.
Thanks for the heads up though. And you have a great weekend.
Really interesting, …
Really interesting, we should all have these, then we wouldn’t have problems with energy resources….

DAMN, Why don’t you take the kidds to an ice cream store make them set there all day and not let them have any ice cream.

Storing power only makes sense if you’re completely off grid. For urban applications, you should feed the grid instead.
