Looks like this company beat Michael Foster to market... http://www.sunrgi.com/
... or not CAVEAT: an (open-minded but non-gullible) associate of mine, who follows this technology from silicon valley, in a phone call just now - says he is skeptical of this particular outfit- he stopped short of calling it a "pump-and-dump" but is unconvinced that the product shown (on their site) is anything more than a prop. He tends to prefer to actually drive over and personally snoop around at the (supposed) factory rather than read "glowing" press releases... but has not done so with in this instance. OTOH - this particular source of negative-info is/was apparently wrong about Nanosolar, if indeed they are actually shipping product now - as he visited their site recently and found only only a few cars in the lot. Who knows- maybe they have a robotic assembly line ;-) ... anyway, the final chapter has yet to be written on that company either ... or has anyone seen an independent review of an installed system? "Solar energy" seems to be falling prey to the same investment hysteria - and many of the very same scam-artists - who promoted hydrogen fuel cells 5 years ago. Since most of those (Canadian) high roller companies have gone belly-up, it appears that the wealthy founders and promoters (the "dumpers") have retired and moved South to Nevada and LA. And guess what: they have taken up "Solar" as the next cow to milk... It is all about "plausible deniability" since the SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission) under George Bush is a joke when it comes to policing these kinds of scams.... If Nanosolar is for real, maybe they should get together with a Fresnel maker ? Jones
