New Solar Cell Electrode Pattern

[Meredith Poor + 894]

This picture shows an electrode pattern that I haven't seen before. Usually the electrodes are simply straight lines of silver.

This cell is for sale at 12 cents to 14 cents per watt, which is at the low end of the scale.

That's interesting but unless there are a few more details on performance and such its hard to make any assessment. Prices of PVs have been coming down for some time of course, but the problems of using them on a large grid remain..
