Photovoltiac Technology.

Announcing newly functional technology! This is a breakthrough in which solar photovoltiacs produce 2 1/2 times more power and efficiency than standard technology. This is thoroughly tested and functional technology and the culmination of years of research. This should shed a whole new light on solar power. The premier green energy technology.

Ever since the days of my youth I've been fascinated by solar power. Man's first adventures into outer space always held my interest and the moon shots et al. The photographs of space technology and their photovoltiacs. Then I consider the status of solar power today and I must explore what has gone wrong. Of course one aspect of solar's image problem is the disgruntled neophyte who typically knows little of electricity and has a problem and in utter frustration is quite vocal about it. Public acceptance is a significant problem and much of which is based in ignorance and fear and un-willingness to change their way of doing things but these types of problems can usually be fixed when the price is right.

Often times I think of solar power as King Energy. I'll explain some reasons why. Well the main reason why I give solar power such a title as King Energy is because of potential cost effectiveness. Fact is that advanced societies must have quantities of energy at dirt cheap prices. First I'll repeat some data that I have found in U. S. government publications. The actual cost of silicon in solar panels is about $5. Actually the primary cost in solar technology is the supporting framework and hardware and this why the cost to manufacture a solar panel is about $100 which to me shows clear room for improvement. Yet these same panels can retail from about $400 to $600 or more. Why?

Well the first place one might want to consider pointing the finger of blame is the government itself with all the incentives to go green which actually have the effect of removing any need for cost reduction. Yet this still may not be the primary reason for the grossly inflated prices of solar technology.

Let's explore how the typical solar manufacturer approaches how to determine the pricing of their product. First they consider the typical home and what the energy cost of such over a 5 to 10 year period is. Then they consider just how they can get that money. Instead of the typical capitalist approach of just how can they provide the consumer with a better product at a cheaper price. This is what is really wrong with solar today.

The fact is that photovoltic manufacturing can benefit from the same economics any other electronic devices can. Such as automated manufacturing plants powered by their own product. The materials need for photovoltiac manufacture such as silicon are found everywhere on the Earth. Dirt cheap energy. The bottom line is the fact that their is no way that petroleum, even at long ago prices, can compete with this kind of technology. King Energy technology.
