I am working a little with a "green" transport system and would like how much power in watt / m^2 you expect will come out your develoipment. What will the price be aprowimately / m^2 I am Danish Engineer and Master shipbuilder and come in New Zealand for do the metal boat/ship building to a more proffesional level and bette quality, as there was some problems with the standard done here. But I have not tuch a vessel here for now 14 years. In stead for the yards here had a "door open" was it closed, as they was afraid for it come around the world what real is done here ????? In Europe and USA is the thinking much different. Many members in the Marine and Boat org. is not educated in the marine branch. Here is f.ex. also serve contractors and plumbers member, but other proffesional is kept out ????? Most of my jobs here in NZ have so been in the trucks transport section, as I not know about ??? But few times have I been overseas and done jobs in my real branch. I have meet 3 here i high position, where two had HR functions, as not know what a Ship was, but only about a large Boat. ?????

The price for the solar panels themselves at right now prices is $27,360.00, $2.85 a watt. the total system costs around $60k. It's a non starter for clients right now. It kills the deal dead. This is technology that can actually spur growth in the renewable energy sector. I personally don't care if its funded by BP. The oil guys have the money. Good for them. Does anybody think that if the whole world goes solar, the oil guys will be poor then? How much more carbon do we have to blow off before we get technology like this into the marketplace?

It's such a shame the general population doesn't understand the importance of funding science and engineering. The concern I have is how much BP gets to benefit from (or squelch) commercial use of this technology. This is very exciting research!
