Konarka Technologies' will receive funding from President Bush's Solar America Initiative. Konarka received funding from the Pentagon 3 years ago to develop a flexible solar power generator. One of their financial backers is Chevron. Konarka's technology is flexible plastic solar cell strips - material that could be embedded into the casings of laptop computers and even woven into power-producing clothing to energize digital media players or other electronics. The idea is that this technology can be mass produced in large rolls of photographic film, and result in cheaper solar power. I wonder if this will result in a material that is cheaper per watt?
