Its higher than reality and I can't disclose the actual pricing here.
The mono/poly silicon panel may be up to 200W each but it is constructed from many smaller wafers that is 125mm sq. A single thin film panel of 5.7sqm will give you about 350W and since it is a single piece, it cost much less to produce than smaller individual pieces where eventually you need to stick them together to make a big panel.
What ever you think the contradictions might be, this whole solar craze is good for the planet.]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:28:36 -0500 Your estimation of the equipment cost and thin film module price is not exactly right. Its higher than reality and I can't disclose the actual pricing here.
