Jones,That would be an interesting project. More than one layer would be needed though & I don't know how accurately you could align the sheet for multiple passes. I think we will see some of the commercial panels drop in price.
In our local paper just this last week was an article on leasing a 10KW array for 20 yrs for just over $100 a month that included installation & maintenance. That is less than my current electricity utility bill so I am going to look into it. I am not sure I have enough roof space though.
What I really need is a heater! Its been an unusually cold winter on the CO front range this year & my gas bills crazy high just to keep this old place around 60 degrees.

Ron, You have to wonder - with liquid glass and a commercial laser engraver (etcher) which is similar to an ink jet printer - http://www.epiloglaser.com/product_line.htm and some imagination and metal-coated film, if one could not etch the circuits with the printer, then coat this film with the glass, and thereby make a large and fairly efficient homemade nano-solar thin film photocell array...
