Cutting solar manufacturing costs

Manufacturing solar cells traditionally involves complex and costly vacuum-based processes. Now, some industry specialists believe new approaches can cut costs and bring ‘grid parity’ within reach. They urge producers to discover how thermal processes and electro-deposition enable cost-effective high volume thin-film PV production. Sunlight may be free, but generating electricity with PV cells remains expensive.…

More thoughts on presentations? Well, it’s true, if you google “presentations” you get over 57 million results! Lots of them mention probably things like ‘don’t just read the slides’, ‘keep the word count on each slide to a minimum’, ‘use a sufficiently large font’ – we haven’t counted them all.
