An article about them is available at ENN, and their own site is at Solarhost.com. Enviro-geeks might be interested." This would be fantastic for all the brick-and-mortar businesses breaking on to the Web that put 'environmentally friendly' stickers on their products in the eighties.

    a solar cell today still takes more energy to manufacture than it will produce in its usable life.
    This was quickly proven to be false. Now even the fossil fuel advocates have dropped the accusation. They now claim around 5 years as a break even point. Solar panels are getting better, so I think 5 years is far too high, but that is more of a debatable point, and not FUD.
