Has anyone kept up with Alan Heegers work? He wont the Nobel prize for Physics a few years ago and now has a cheap thin film plastic solar cell they claim to get many times more efficieny out of versus the std high efficiency solar cells out today. They think they can create a solar paint! This I believe will ultimately be the answer to clean and renewable energy.

Curious, what is the name of the company he is working with?

Red to red and black to black, or it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
This guy isn't the only one working on this type of thin solar material. I found this site a few months back.
