Silicon vs. CIGS: With solar energy, the issue is material

Silicon vs Cigs really where are they: I am 37 and remember how solar was supposed to be all over the place bye now, That being as a boy studying science at windmill and I was 10 at the time. Any product that has the flexibility of form would be best as long as the enviromental consequences of these materials is far lower than the current state. It seems to me that their should be more invested in the combination of the 2 than fighting between to technologies that have not been put into extensive usage. As this country is called such a hog for energy use and the need for alternative sources is extreme why aren't their more colaberation Cigs could become dominate, but silicon is a great backbone. Think hybrid cars as a goal in solar tech.; Posted by: jpmccloud_1@... Posted on: 10/02/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
