Konarka manufacturing – Organic Thin film Solar Cell Modules
Konarka http://konarka.com/ is recognized throughout the world as a leader in OPV (organic photovoltaic) technology a 3rd generation solar technology that is rapidly emerging to compete with silicon based 1st and 2nd generation solar technologies. The company holds over 350 patents and filings covering every aspect of our proprietary chemistry and processes. Our current research efforts are exploring exciting new OPV chemistries as well as advances to our existing technology that will produce greater power output at a lower cost.
At the heart of Konarkas technology is a photo-reactive polymer material invented by Konarka co-founder and Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Alan Heeger. This proprietary material can be printed or coated inexpensively onto flexible substrates using roll-to-roll manufacturing, similar to the way newspaper is printed on large rolls of paper. The resulting Power Plastic can then be manufactured into a wide range of end-use products.

Where can an individual buy this? Put it in a store and consumers will flock to it. When its in a wal-mart type invironment, I know of lots who will aquire it, but dealing with these wheelers and dealer types in ‘specialized’ stores will not allow it to spread into the mainstream. Most of these ‘solar distributers’ jack the cost of cheap technologies up to the point that no one can afford it. Almost everything we run here is thin film because I can get it on the cheap in a big box store

unlike the SINGLE polycristaline one I paid a mint for after being hustled by a ‘solar shop’ I wish you guys well, and when you make it to big box stores I will buy it in bulk from you
