the claim made at 1:07 is complete bulls****! The panals the reporter pointed to on the ground are at least 60watt peak. I live off grid. I've studied PV and Wind power for years and the only way one might get 1500watts out of a panal the size of a cd jewelcase is to reduce its voltage to a mili-fraction of a volt which would make it completely worthless. Another example of the mainstream media pulling the publics D***. Although I will totally agree, solar/wind is our only hope. Thank you.

There are companies using mirror and optics to concentrate a large area of sun light into a small photovoltaic solar panel. But they use some cooling system , since solar panels don't work well if get much heat. Is this solar panel of this video different, like requirering no cooling system????

at least its a step forward...
oil will eventually run out so we only have wind/solar/dams/tidal/geothermal energy.

Don't get so excited. The electricity will be sold at 10-12 cents per kWh, which is completely non-competitive, at least in the U.S., where electricity costs between 3-6 cents per kWh, depending on location and other factors. Yes, it's another step in the development of the photovoltaic industry, but a breakthrough? Not really.
To TRAVLINGKING, you say solar energy "Get's us off foreign oil." No it doesn't. That would require fleets of plug-in hybrid or all-electric vehicles.

Good thing Edison didn't listen to all the skeptics. I am hopeful that this new generation of engineers will come up with some lasting break through that will seem as commonplace to our youth as the cell phone now does.

I live in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania, the home of Duquesne Light Company. We have the most expensive power in the entire country. We now average .12 per kilowatt hour. My electric bill for a small 3 bedroom home with gas heat, gas water heater, gas dryer, and gas cooking averages $380 per month.

This is a great idea. Think about places like the Sahara desert. There would be space for hundreds of square miles of thease solar systems. Not bad :)

Are u a retard? Quote " The world doesnt seem to change its course untill U.S. leads the world in a different direction .....".
And you think the US is going to lead the world? No the US will prob lead the world into world war 3..... US vs China n Russia. Then uk back US then Europe get involved. Another world war. Thats the only thing that the us will do.

DeNnaceTheMeNaCE (December 24, 2008 at 6:58 pm)

The whole world depends on US to lead it... Russia's going into another recession because the OIL went dramatically down.. China's not going to be doing that good because Obama's going to be creating national jobs.... and as far as the WW3 its very possible because there's alot of tension betwn everyone...

Untill people dont respect nature and live creatively things are going to be a mess...

Time for us to find new fuel sources. Many people cannot afford their own power for their homes. Solar is a good replacement Less pollution, runs well, costly at start but the long run is effective.
