At first glance has all the markings of a free energy scam. On one hand there is impressive video of a beautiful looking press churning out miles of cell (rather than. say a hand roller on a lab bench). Then jump to news of first commercial panels and it says there are 3, one they keep, one to go in a museum and one to be auctioned on ebay but, oh dear ebay cancelled the auction so they decided not to sell it!!! Very convenient, like a plot from Scooby Doo! Sorry to be cynical but have I missed something by merely skimming the Nanosolar link? At first glance has all the markings of a free energy scam.

SPIE, Vol. <b>7039</b>, 70390M (2008) some of the company websites have more information about their own processes. For Konarka, their <a href="http://www.konarka.com/index.php/site/tech_paper_publication/" rel="nofollow">Papers & Publications</a> web page lists the technical papers they have written describing their process.

We'll see in the coming months how well they can ramp up volume. Nanosolar have factories set up in the US and Germany, first product has just shipped.
