Question

What are the public and private Nano Solar panel companies ?

Answer 1

Yes and I can't wait for the day  when these panels are available to the public so we all can get  in to some real energy savings.

It will bring home power affordable to many more people. I just hope greedy governments and power companies don't try to take control.

Answer 3

NanoSolar is the name of a particular company.  They make thin film solar cells and panels that are the cutting edge right now.  they haven't gone public(sold stock to the public) yet, so are a private company. They recently shipped their first panels.

"Nanosolar’s founder and chief executive, Martin Roscheisen, claims to be the first solar panel manufacturer to be able to profitably sell solar panels for less than $1 a watt. That is the price at which solar energy becomes less expensive than coal.

With a $1-per-watt panel,” he said, “it is possible to build $2-per-watt systems.

According to the Energy Department, building a new coal plant costs about $2.1 a watt, plus the cost of fuel and emissions, he said."

Heliovolt is another one and is also still private.

NanoSolar and Heliovolt will probably go public before long.  They will need the capital to scale up operations.

Energy Conversion Devices is a public company making thin film solar cells and panels.  I know they use nanotechnology, so I would assume it was used in this product development.

I'm pretty sure other companies are using nanotechnology as well.
