Within five years, this company's thin-film solar cells could compete with coal.
Before First Solar's manufacturing innovations, cadmium-telluride photovoltaic cells were the size of postage stamps; now the company makes them as big as window panes.
This is great news!
I can't wait to see large solar generation plants put into action.
It isn't the end solution to get off oil but it will help.

how can we start localizing these products and get them into our everyday reality, at our jobs, grocery stores, clubs, restaurants?

Ah, finally, this is how corporations should be competing. They should be trying to create more efficient, less costly, and overall better products.
If competitions like this were invested on more products...no, all the products on the market, then we would be able to solve problems in so many of our lives. - 3 years ago
