HI John Do you have any further info on this technology such as links to websites or any compnay that isd already in production ?
WE sell PV cells & other renewable energy technolgies currently in New Zealand , so we have an interest to try & promote the latest &greatest technologies . Hear from you soon & thanks for the article . PLease reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,but dont put that email on the mail list please .
