Jesuits @ CES 2009 – Flexible Solar with Power Film

www.thetechstop.net The inefficiency of solar cells is not a big secret. Though some of the more advanced technologies are approaching some respectable efficiencies (think 10-15%) most consumer-level products are big, bulky, expensive and have conversion rates hovering below 10% — Now… what if you could have a solar technology with low efficiency rates, but that was also cheap, durable, and could be deployed on pretty much ANY surface? Power Film Solar tries to give us that with their flexible solar cells. Not only are these cells bendable, but they have a built-in ability to “ignore” damaged cells and continue power generation with the good ones… try THAT with your rigid PV!
