Comments on: Start-up tries to manufacture a solar revolution

Rather than pursue radically new ideas, 1366 Technologies says it can make solar power widespread with a series of improvements to standard polycrystalline silicon solar cells.

Companies will have to migrate toward a Solar Transfer way of thinking if they intend to compete with other forms of energy capture. When the right people understand what we have then and only then will Solar play a substantial part of our future renewable energy program.

They were using Silver? What? Why were they using Silver...?

Anyway, wasn't there some other guy (at MIT) who also created some sort of ink that could be applied to glass so that it would reflect more light to the sides of the window, effectively being capable of turning any window into a solar panel? (would require refitting, but still do-able)

I do like this idea though, quite a bit of light gets lost with them that could be used.
If they actually manage to get it cheaper, hopefully this will produce the "solar power boom" we have been waiting for.

1366 Technologies is a great company - I wish them luck!
