lizzie or anyone care to comment on the following discussion from another board. thx "Does anyone know whether crystalline solar cell technology will be more or less cost effective than thin film technology?" No, NO ONE, at least not on this planet. It's a race between a broad range of technologies. Improvements happen irregularly but as more venture capital $ and university grant $ get thrown at the problem more breakthroughs are inevitable. FSLR's thin film has the lead in cost-per-watt at the moment but far more money is being spent to lower the costs of polysilicon. Solar-concentrating technology is also making strides and that approach offers the potential to make the cost of the cell itself a much smaller part of the cost per watt, whereupon various highly expensive but highly efficient thin-film structures, for example CiGS variants, could be used..."
