Nanosolar Promises “Fabulous” Residential Solar Energy

Recently, Nanosolar main manager Martin Roschein suggested “short term” plans for residential solar energy for the thin film initiative:

“For those who are disappointed that our first product is not for residential owners, we can ensure we have a fabulous residential solution on our map of travel in the short term – one that led the economic scale of the technology of Nanosolar panel to homes everywhere and completely redefine the concept of residential solar energy”.

In what they say is a $ 1 per watt, we’d love to see Nanosolar pass these savings to residential customers. However, in the subject residential costs are rising in the debate. Half the cost of solar on the roof of the home is the low-tech process of sizing and installing the system.

Also, space, and therefore the effectiveness of the panel, is very scarce. Nanosolar says its CIGS cells can operate at 10% efficiency, while the current poly silicon panels can do the double. So we are anxious to hear about any event “fabulous” in solar energy, there are many obstacles between the thin solar panels and roof neighbor.

The most recent funding Nanosolar, $ 50 million from the French energy company EDF Nouvelles, goes along with the agreement of EDF to buy Nanosolar panels since 2009. EDF will focus on large-scale commercial deployments or acquisitions.

An installation as Sungevity uses satellite images to expedite the evaluation process while SolarCity is the financial side innovation by offering a free recruitment costs. Fellow Nanosolar facility will make use of such methods, installations and films at prices low enough as not to lose the advantage of the cost of thin film cells economical.

But the hope of thin films solar in residential applications is focused on building integrated photovoltaic. If Nanosolar can build its cells in the tiles of roofs, walls and windows will be truly a “fabulous residential solution”.

Ah, if you’re an executive who is reading this anxious and worried that this city will let the energy out of your business while PG & E will acquire flanks these solar plants in Mojave, Roscheisen invites you to a fact-finding mission in Germany European solar The ground pork sausage and the feed-in tariffs.
