yes thank you.

they are going to be the next Nobel p. for energy science. A dilema will emerge from that. Do i build a parabolica tube focusing light onto solar (heat resistant captors) that will at the same time allow for energy under clouds, and heat water for : a) at first stage hot house water, showers, cooking, etc b) at second stage, boil to condense (watermaker) sea water, or any water for that matter. c) if enough energy is left, create a steam engine (sounds big and heavy) with my gen. electric motor.

I wonder if these plastic will resist heat or perhaps i will do a hybrid solar system.

Coincidentally, just a few hours ago, I was reading this article about the technology in these cells.
