Cost has always been the burdening factor weighing down the mass application of solar technology at nearly $3 per watt.

In order to compete with the energy produced from coal solar has been in need of finding a way to shrink its costs down to $1 per watt.

Nanosolar’s cells use absolutely no silicon as is the standard for current solar production and the efficiency of the PowerSheet cells are competitive with the traditional systems as well.

The golden kicker, the cost to produce these solar coatings is a mere 30 cents per watt!
