Being transparent, it's fairly obvious that that surface area does not produce electricity. I'd argue that most applications would prefer the sheet-type cells, although if the price was low enough it may be possible to increase the number of cells you were to buy. I like the idea of covering the car in these little dots... it would make an electric car more efficient (albeit more expensive) and probably even look better. Plus, if you could incorporate the dots into the paint scheme it would probably be more efficient and less prone to breaking than covering a car in glass panels. Any hints as to what we're looking at cost-wise for this new technology? - Daniel Lunsford Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:16:05 +0100
