Solar Stocks: Nine That Will Shine in a Bull Market [View article]
I hear the thin film vs silicon argument often. Most are thinking thin film will win because it can be used in building products.. There are billions of existing structures and most people aren't going to rip down their exterior walls to put a solar exterior on their buildings(corporate or home). The angles of existing structures(90degrees) will signigicantly lower efficiencies of thin film. Plus you'll have a wiring dilema. And as far as glass goes.. If you want to see out the window without getting a headache I'd say thin film in building products is a long way off from accepted reality. It would be very costly to replace old glass for solar glass.
