Wouldn’t you love cheap solar energy wherever you are and incredibly flexible ? Well, this could be made possible with the Nanosolar Powersheet. The greatest fact at this technology is that you can put thesheets on your roof, windows and anywhere you want and generate cheap solar energy for all your needs.

Until now, the silicon and glass panels were generating energy at $3 per watt, which is very high, but the Nanosolar Powersheets could generate the energy at a rate of 10 times less, at 30 cents a watt, but that’s not sure. If they only manage to get the energy with $1 per watt, they can compete with coal and the solar energy could finally become profitable to use.




The Nanosolar Powersheets are revolutionary, due to their low cost energy generation and high functionality, so we shall soon find them in stores. It’s expected especially companies to use them, due to tax breaks and rebates, along with running cost reuduction.

What makes it also cheap are the materials used in it’s productions, being made of an Aluminum foil for stability, Molybdenum electrode, an ink made of indium, copper, selenium and gallium, a semiconductor that doesn’t absorb light and a clear Zinc oxide semiconductor.

A solar panel manufacting factory has been built in San Jose, being the biggest in the world and it may produce solar cells to generate more power than all the US, meaning 430 megawatts.
