NanoSolar

Here's a company that says they will be able to manufacture solar cells at 1/10 the current manufacturing price by printing the cells on thin film rather than using traditional semiconductor fabrication techniques. Cheaper is better, but for our car, we are hoping that tech advances will produce a solution that is cheap AND improves the efficiency of the solar cell. The more efficient that a solar cell is, the more energy we will have to play with.
