..shouldn't have opened my mouth
no sooner than i mention a first (previous post) than i receive a press release about this stuff:
and look at it? is it not ultrathin enough? or maybe as I suspect, what I'm about to mention is just not 100% inorganic... or the very last possible excuse is that this announcement came a few days after the Lawrence Livermore announcement. At any rate, on halloweene eve, Dr. BJ Stanbery, CEO of HelioVolt, announced major breakthroughs in his company's use of "copper indium gallium selenide-based (CIGS) photovoltaics (PV)." They say that this is going to make CIGS_PV as comercial and affordable as any of the thin film nanos... they say it's a major breakthrough, and i don't doubt it, as it was realized with the help of the good 'ol NREL (oh, and Bechtel). Dr. Stanbery also has an illustrious past, once at Boeing, he set the world record for solar thin-film efficiency.. First or not, while it still makes me cringe to hear the bombasts, who really cares? ...Am pretty certain that we will be hearing a lot about this company in the near future...
