Solar do have its place. Instead of invest in large infrastructure project to get electricity for the remote place, such as desert, mountaintop, space etc. Solar are cheap, flexible. For the clean energy, personally, nuclear won hands down, in term of utilisation of resource, limited impact on environment (maximum impact on political), smaller foot print on earth, if done properly, safe as well. However, the initial cost are prohibitive for any poor country. (Jules Verne influence).

Carl's post did not look like an advertisement for Solar World or
inappropriate to the list, just a link to a simple explanation on how
solar cells are made.
Maybe Solar World's product is not a good value compared to the
competition, but most denizens of technet would do some research before
investing thousands of dollars on a photovoltaic energy system and would
not be mislead by hype.

Hi,
That Solar-101 stuff looks like a scam. The system they are pushing is
kind of small, the price is high, the returns look inflated and all the
buyer is guaranteed to have is a 30 year long term loan. Then again there
are loads of suckers out there.
I really find this kind of post totally inappropriate for this forum.

Last Friday, I enjoyed a plant tour (with the OSU Solar Car team) at
SolarWorld. There was a lot of neat stuff going on at the plant, from the
growing and slicing of the Silicon, to the automated laminating of the
strings of cells. There are some pictures and general information about
panel assembly on their website at:

Dear Technos,
Is anybody currently assembling solar panels? What would be the specifics
of
the task? Anything particular, different from regular box build
(electronics
assembly, cables plus mechanical)? Any particular knowledge or machinery to
acquire?
Thanks,
Ioan Tempea, ing.
