Introducing the latest in solar technology, Nanosolar

We have been following Nanosolar carefully and they are finally ready to release a mass produced light weight solar panels that will finally make it profitable to employ solar power everywhere.

Take a look at the future of Solar:

 

Nanosolar Utility Panel™

The Nanosolar Utility Panel™ is the industry's first solar power panel specifically designed for utility-scale deployment. Its unique features and benefits include:

A Thin Panel of 160-220 Watts High power per panel. Reduces installation cost.
High-Current Design Enables longer panel arrays. Reduces cabling and labor.
High System Voltage Industry-first 1500V certification. More efficient inverter utilization.
Proven Thin-Panel Package Rugged high-strength glass/glass laminate with edge seal. Ensures maximum durability.
Wide-Span Mountable Enabled by dual-high-strength glass. Reduces mounting cost.
Nanosolar Edge Connector™ Simplifies electrical connection at utility scale. Reduces labor cost.
Dense Pallet and Container Packing Optimized for multi-MW deployment logistics. Reduces shipping cost.

Theses are claimed to be "Engineered for >25-years reliability", the Nanosolar Utility Panel™ has met stringent suites of reliability tests. These include all applicable international standards as well as internal material, component, and panel tests substantially exceeding these standards. 
It is around a 40% cost savings over conventional thin film design.
