Question by Estr Bien Cvzoch: Is there anyone trying to create a cheaper and more efficient solar panel?
I read on CNN's website last year some company was creating a very cheap type of solar panel, that needs minimal maintenance and and has minimal glare from the sun. And the creator of the project said he one day wanted to cover every rooftop in the US with these solar panels. Seems like a good idea to me but I havent heared anything of it for a long time and I don't know what they are called... any help?

Answer by Dominic Fno i havent heard of it but domestic solar energy is new and as the demand for it increases and the technology becomes more easily to produce the price will come down. just like tv,mobile phones, computers and appliances.

At the solar industry's largest event, Intersolar Europe, 2011 SunPower launched its new 96-cell E20 modules, which are the industry's first commercially-available solar panels to achieve total area efficiencies of 20% and above. Jorn Jugens, SunPower's managing director, Germany had the honour of discussing with PV-Tech the key characteristics of the module, which includes SunPower's 22.4% efficient 'Maxeon' cell technology. The modules will be offered in Europe and Australia this year, with availability extended in North America and Asia in early 2012. All of SunPowers production lines will be transferred to the new Maxeon cell process by mid-next year.
