CIGS Vaporware
by baldguy61 September 13, 2007 11:50 AM PDT
Funny, but all these companies advertised as though they had production lines humming. Could it be that we're seeing the emergence of a dot.com-like vaporware bubble about to burst for the CIGS developers? Too bad; its a promising technology.

Cheap Silicon Solar lines
by xdwu September 13, 2007 1:17 PM PDT
To build a 30 MW silicon solar line, it will NOT cost $100 M. In fact, it will cost close to $10-12 M, which is exactly what people are spending in China today. This cost covers both cell and module assembly with key hardware from US/Japan/Germany.

It will be likely that we will see a catch-up game in the semiconductor industry: Silicon vs GaAs. Here we will see Silicon vs CIGS/others.
