Empowered: Detail of a solar panel built with crystalline PV cells from Q-Cells, the world's largest manufacturer. | photograph by Charles Masters
Radically distributed power production. That's the kind of talk that gets pulses racing, and I have to admit mine's doing exactly that as I follow Oldekop across the factory floor. Is this a Gatesian figure I've found here in the sleepy Saxon countryside? Could the solar skeptics be akin to the experts who reckoned, just 30 years ago, that computers would always be great whirring beasts that could never become more numerous than, say, power plants? Just 10 years ago -- maybe as recently as five -- I'm sure I could've filled Nanosolar's conference room with energy wonks who would have sworn I wouldn't be touring the nearly operational factory floor of a thin-film PV plant in eastern Germany in 2008. Of course, not even the Oldekops of the solar business think little sun-fueled power plants will be as ubiquitous as laptops a decade from now. But beyond that? The sky's the limit.
As persuasive as I find Oldekop's analogy, I still haven't laid eyes on a thin-film solar panel actually pumping out power by the kilowatt-hour. Fortunately, although First Solar is headquartered in Tempe, it too has a major manufacturing facility in eastern Germany. And so on one uncharacteristically bright morning, I take two trains and three buses out of Leipzig, then hike the last mile or so down a country road until I come, finally, to the site of First Solar's -- and the world's -- first industrial-scale thin-film power plant.
Maybe it's the Kremlinesque veil of silence around First Solar -- the unanswered emails and voice mails, the word from its local installation partner that there was "no chance" of a tour -- but as I trek up a dusty side lane, I half expect a Stasi jeep to come reeling around the corner. I slip past a low concrete restraining wall to find a high chain-link fence stretching away in either direction to points far over the horizon. Through the crosshatch I can see aluminum frames lined up row on row over an undulating pasture, filled to varying degrees with First Solar's thin-film panels.
So it exists. And it's growing: I can hear tools pounding on metal in the distance, and my six-month-old press release tells me at least 12.7 megawatts of thin-film solar produced here is powering German homes as I watch. When it's done, it will be, at 40 megawatts, Germany's largest solar installation, marking the commercial debut, after decades of lab-rat tinkering, of a second generation of solar power.
I have no direct experience with the wilds of Silicon Valley circa 1980, but I wonder if it felt about the same as this desultory industrial park in suburban Canberra, Australia. There's one of these, at any rate, on the outskirts of every city in the industrialized world -- a bland agglomeration of welding shops and fencing suppliers and landscaping companies housed in aluminum sheds in a dozen shades of beige. On one corner of this one, there's a small, single-story brick building with a couple of loading bays. Inside, I find an engineer hunched over a standard screen-printing machine, more or less identical to the ones they use to print Your Name Here on T-shirts down at the mall. He's using it to make solar cells.
The engineer's name is Graeme Evans, and he works for a small startup called Dyesol. He's dressed in a slightly ratty golf shirt, and if not for his blue surgical gloves, he could be working the drill press in his suburban garage. He's using the screen printer to spread a thin layer of yellowy goo on the surface of a rectangle of glass the size of a postcard, smearing it through a sort of stencil that divides it into six smaller strips in two rows.
The goo is titania -- titanium dioxide, more precisely, a plentiful, electricity-conducting material commonly used in toothpaste and paint -- and once it has dried, it leaves a porous coating of nanoparticles with an extraordinarily large surface area for such small strips. The glass panes will then be dipped in a rust-hued dye consisting most notably of a little-known metal called ruthenium and then fused to a second piece of glass coated in electrolyte. And that's how Dyesol makes its photovoltaics -- "dye solar cells" by name, a technology based on a breakthrough that emerged from a Swiss university in the late 1980s. The ruthenium dye absorbs available solar energy the way chlorophyll does, taking in electrons and transferring them to the titania layer to create electricity.
"The principle is just like a leaf," explains Sylvia Tulloch, cofounder of Dyesol. We're around the corner from the R&D building in a little green structure that looks like it should belong to a screen-door wholesaler. She points to a coaster on the conference-room table and to a patch of red berries in the festive scene it depicts. "As long as you can see that that's red, you know that it's absorbing light. And so it's not dependent on how much light is hitting it."

Brilliant focus and clarity of the state of the econonmy of PV. Now on to the real analysis of landscape and roof top availability. This will be the true market test.
December 10, 2008 at 4:09am by Tom Conway
This article was a good briefing but left out one piece of info. You mention the efficiencies of PV at 22% for SunPower and 9% for thin film but did not mention the performance of dye-solar cells. Can anyone answer this?

I have been having dialogues with EcoFuturelabs who are testing a 15% efficiency Dyeactivated PV systems in UAE at the present.
They are aiming for 20-25% in 18-24 months.

Time Magazine and Fast Company,
Forgive my writing to both of your magazines at the same time. I realize it’s not standard practice to write to two different publications in the same letter, but in this particular case I found it appropriate.
In the last week (Time) and last month (FC) both of your publications have discussed energy production and consumption and the future of green tech. Time magazine’s focus was on energy conservation, while Fast Company did a feature on the rapid rise of solar energy. While the two articles’ content don’t directly overlap, taken in tandem a reader is left wondering where the future lies in our energy markets, and if in making their individual cases the writers for each story have over simplified the state of affairs.
After reading FC’s in depth article on the potential growth of the solar power industry (Solar Goes Supernova, by Chris Turner) I was impressed at the growing capacity of photovoltaic cells and the rapidly decreasing price. The nine page article went in-depth to explain that while there are still hurtles ahead for the industry, now might just be when solar power reaches prime time.
In contrast, while promoting the need for energy conservation, Time magazine’s article (Wasting Our Watts, By Michael Grunwald) waived away any advances in technology, especially when it comes to solar power. In one sentence the author linked solar power to nuclear, “Coal and Oil are too dirty. Nuclear and solar are too expensive.” Yet, if he had read his competitor’s magazine (and the next article in his own), the comparison to nuclear power borders on ridiculous. With its various cost overruns, nuclear power becomes an incredibly expensive proposition, usually funded by taxpayers. Meanwhile, solar cells are being produced right now, their cost, much like that of the personal computer is rapidly declining as it scales up to meet growing demand. Solar power could certainly be the power supply of the future, if properly nurtured to prominence.
It’s not that conservation is a bad thing or shouldn’t be promoted. Indeed, Mr. Grunwald goes on to outline great examples of how much energy we waste. I am a lighting designer and am constantly researching new ways to specify more and more energy efficiency into my projects. But to throw cold water on the rapid innovation of the solar industry is to misinform readers.
Bottom line-conservation teamed with new, rapidly growing energy sources like solar are the key to breaking the nation’s oil addiction, and eventually might save the planet.

Great article. It catches the spirit of working in the renewable energy and solar power industries right now. The innovation and optimism of the people and companies is great to see. I'm hoping that the innovation will accelerate and help steer us out of our current energy bind. http://dasolar.com

It really is about time the solar power industry took off. The thing is, it's over a year later and we still have nothing to show from massive investments into this new global industry. Sure it's expensive to start up, but that shouldn't completely stop the momentum.
