New Photovoltaics Made with Titanium Foil

Posted by timothy on Monday March 28, 2005 @11:59AM from the light-metal dept.

Memorize writes "A company called Daystartech has released a new type of photovoltaic cell which, unlike almost all the cells currently in use, does not silicon. This is based on a thin titanium film. Given the current shortage of solar-grade silicon, and all-time high oil prices, maybe titanium solar panels are here at the right time. The questions are, will they release it as a consumer solar product, and what will be the price per kilowatt hour?"

How very American of you all. Just because you're not earning money does not mean you're losing it. Or if you prefer, while you're earning money, you're also losing it - what's the nett?

So does breathing if you want to be like that. You get your point but only in the most facile way.
