We all know that green energy is the future of all earthlings.
Scientist are doing a lot of inventions to generate energy from natural resource, the prices are exhorbitantly high hence a comman man like me is not able to afford / use the solutions. While I personally feel ashamed of wasting energy and not using newer technologies.
I also understand unless there is mass production, the prices won't come down. Why is that scientist not approaching the Government to implement and provide subsidy to common man, some workable solution would make sense.
I live in Chennai (India) where there is sunlight through out the day and almost everyday in a year. And the Govt has initiated 1 hour power holiday everyday to combat the shortage of power in the city. You should be selling the solution to the Govt, Iam least bothered even if they make money in the bargain. I will still be happy that we are saving the earth and its species.

RE: Saving money with solar tech
Using a proprietary manufacturing process that layers copper, indium, gallium, and selenium on a flexible metal substrate, SoloPower can create thin-film solar panels in flexible rolls, which, the company says, are not only easy to manufacture but also to transport and install. For example, the panels can be applied directly to rooftops without the need for framing about it is bank that website attacked from the site support from any soldier site to the light home page is great systems.
