High efficiency photovoltaic solar panels?

I saw an article and a patent for a new and revolutionary solar panel last year, with promises that they will be on the market soon. Has anyone heard anything more about these solar panels?

… Meanwhile, I found some more information about them: Being produced by Johanna Solar Technology*, a subsidiary of IFE**.

Not too long ago the US Gov gave Evergreen a large grant (I don’t think they had to pay it back) to build a cheaper solar module. Well they did it and really cut their cost big time. But if you notice the Evergreen solar modules sell for about the same as any other. A little less then some and a little more then others.

So it all comes down to the same thing, the tax payers got it up the rearend again.

They got free tax money to find a better way to do it then they charge the same price as everyone else. There is nothing in the law that says just because they can make it for less money that they have to pass on the savings. Normally they don’t. Why should they?

Oh, Just so you know, standard efficiency for solar modules is between 12% and 18%.

If anyone puts out a better solar cell at a lower price I will be very very very impressed. You better plan on paying more because they will tell you how much better their product is because of how they do things so it will be worth more. The price will not go down as long as people will pay for them the price just like with gas will just go up.
