How is this product installed on a roof? If it is attached to a metal roof would not a heat increase be realized? How would you plan the electrical connection from the sheets to the inverter box?

It’s also very interesting that the Google founders are bankrolling this new technology. Since they are probably paying big bucks to power their server farms, it seems a natural fit.

I think that big changes for the better are finally coming.

Ditto here! I’d love some reasonably affordable way to add solar collectors to the back half of our home’s roof - it’s southward facing, not viewable from the street (so even a little added bulk wouldn’t affect the curb appeal), and we get truckloads of blistering sun here in West Texas even well into the Fall season.

Wonder how long it’ll take for this type of produc to make it from the labs to the consumers?

Cool! - it’ll be interesting to see what tech’s emerge as the one’s that we actually use. I found a site a while back that was talking about vertical maglev windmills, I just went to check back there but you need to make a special request for a username and password to get into the site now ??

I saw this the other day and I’m excited as well.
Cheap solar energy is our future in my opinion.
