    Dyesol posted a curious tweet in the last 24 hs -

    "Paper-Thin printable solar cells ready to power the world"

    The link in the tweet connects to Anonymous - yes that Anonymous of Hactivism fame!!! WT???  anyway..

    "Scientists from Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), University of Melbourne, and Monash University have developed paper-thin, organic printable solar cells capable of powering personal devices as well as meeting the energy needs of both the developed and the developing world."

    ......

    but the interesting bit is at the bottom of the page ...

    "Scholes, hinting that the thin, flexible solar cells are close to commercialization, told The Guardian that several companies such as Dyesol have expressed interest in helping commercialize the technology."
    “We can’t manufacture them here, but we are at the point where they can be taken up by a manufacturer. It would be wonderful if we could achieve a similar power delivery at significantly reduced cost. Silicon is falling in price, but think about how cheap plastic is. The ink is a negligible cost, so the raw materials are very cost effective. This is a big step forward because you can put these cells anywhere you can think of. Also the consistency is better than silicon – they work well in cloudy conditions.”



    Curious to know why Dyesol put out the tweet ... just general solar news or a hint of an announcement ?

    Hope some clarification at today's Q&A
