Thin-Film PhotoVoltaics May be Energy Game Changer on Earth and in Space


Thin-film nansolar may be a key to making space-based solar power a more vaiable business venture while providing several new more Earth-based energy solutions so says well-known international entrepreneur Peter Sage in a recent Space Show with Dr. David Livingston.

Sage notes that Thin-Film PhotoVoltaics improve efficiency, lower mass, and increase deployment size, thus they effectively lower launch costs adding to new business opportunities including space-based solar power. Listen to Sage advise on The Space Show.

The above video is from NanoSolar but there are several new firms that are involved with the production thin-film photovoltaic solar panels. Think ink, not silicon.
