This is from a company called Nanosolar and they are using thin film technology. This is still using silicon and they bake the whole system onto a still glass setup. They use liquid metals to move the current. Anyway, it is less efficient than PV because of less silicon, less current etc. They are easier to mount and ship though, so they are about 20% less. Our friend sells all you need to buy for a factory for $100M or so if anyone is interested. The printing/baking system is expensive. Having said all that....I've only seen them...many rooftops are putting them up there...I think real nanosolar will end this, but that is not here yet.
