Nanosolar 1GW Solar Power Film Coater

World’s first 1GW solar production tool. Breakthrough in the production of solar electricity cells: Simply printed (using ink with semiconductor nanoparticles). Printing is a non-vacuum coating process that eliminates the need for a high-vacuum chamber as it is conventionally used. Printing is 200 times more capital efficient: A twenty times slower high-vacuum tool costs ten times as much. More info see Nanosolar blog at www.nanosolar.com/blog3

    Again it’s all useless to the average person, we can’t buy these because it would put the utilities out business. If every home had 10000 watts of these cells they would power all their home needs and 90% of their transportation thus making the oil and utility companies useless. They will never allow this. What a joke, i will never see these at Home Depot. Curious, are these panels EMP proof or will they fry out from a nuclear blast a hundred miles above them in outer space?

    I don’t like to be pessimistic but in my 58 yrs I have seen so many promised energy devices that could free man that have never happen. Can one imagine with a water from air machine like the Skywater 300, a electric car and bike, a 3d jet printer to make many of your household needs from, one could produce any where in the world including the desert most all they need. One could grow all their food in a drip feed greenhouses. All it takes is cheap energy. But then how would we be controlled

    This is to be used for the moon /mars missions and deep space probing/satellites. Uses of up-to-date green technology for a moon base with a satellite commutation hub and transportation port; Earth to moon to colonizing mars facilities, vies versa. It will make easy for set up, then to explore for resources first. Its to integrate on the ISS and space modules; it would be hard to place a gas station in space! And, means less rocket fuel. Figuring everyone is throwing out ideas, here is mine.

    You are so right ssssaaafff! For instance, nanosolar has a press which can print a gigawatt of solar panels per year. I recently received notice they are not going to sell to individuals as that does ‘not scale up well’?

    They have contracts with German and French companies exclusively, and will only print 12 megawatts of a potential 1000 megawatts with the plant in the US! They are building plants in Europe now and as usual, the free enterprising Americans will be shut out!

    Thanks DOE!

    Its cool but when can you actually purchase the film? It’s no good if I can’t buy it.

    Yeah mate- I’m waiting for this product to come out. It should revolutionize the world ! Probably they are still in the patenting process for home use .

    I think there is some funny business with the release of this product.

    I believe it is a real technology..
    I hope it will be cheap enough for poor people to buy and use.

    Morally right, financially wrong for any energy lobbyist. I hope we dont burn mother earth up avatar style. Lol…
