I’ve often thought solar power was one of the most promising clean energy options for many reasons, but it seems as if the advancement of the technology hasn’t moved as fast as it should or is capable. Over the last couple of years I’ve read about many promising advancements that seemed to start pushing solar forward. The latest news from a company called Nanosolar gets me excited as they’ve brought a new flat panel solar technology to a commercial state that is cheaper than many past solar options.

What’s the advantage of what they’re doing? It’s cheaper than big bulky panels, smaller and flatter, and very powerful. I think in the future we’ll start to see solar flat panels covering almost every building and rooftop. Why not harness the sun’s power? This seems like a great step for that business, congratulations to Nanosolar.
