Notes on "Nanosolar Technology"

Nanosolar is a company that is developing solar panels.
A barrier to more widespread use of solar panels has been there cost, but nanosolar has developed a fast and cheap way to produce them.
These "solar panels" are really are really more sheets, as they are very thin, bendable, and easily adjusted in size.
These affordable solar panels are being built to ultimately be cheap enough to go up on roofs around the country.
While not being as efficient as some other solar panels (which have about 20% efficiency, as opposed to the 15 - 16% efficiency in the nanosolar panels,) The ultra low cost ,20 dollars per square foot, more than makes up for it.
"Cells are assembled into circuits and laminated into panels. By using cells only from matched performance bins, mismatch losses within a panel are minimized to less than 0.1%" (1)
The company behind nanosolar technology has over 300 patents and a factory in Berlin, Germany, and San Jose, California.
The company has many job openings in the field of engineering.
