There is a famous Italian song O Sol Mia that has these
lyrics
What a beautiful thing is a sunny
day!
The air is serene after a storm,
The air is so fresh that it already
feels like a celebration.
What a beautiful thing is a sunny
day!
But another sun that's brighter
still,
It's my own sun that's upon your
face!
The sun, my own sun, it's upon your
face!
It's upon your face!
When night comes and the sun has
gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has
gone down.
But another sun that's brighter
still,
It's my own sun that's upon your
face!
The sun, my own sun, it's upon your
face!
It's upon
your face!
Now we
have another failed CIGs based PV company called SoloPower.
Remember
Dr Chu was the biggest supporter of CIGs chemistry for PV and the Chinese clobbered
him with simple and extremely cheap silicon.
Old Chu is now a prof at Stanford and is looking for “another sun that
is brighter still”. I doubt Chu is
contrite and doubt he is almost feeling melancholy. He probably will give lectures to Stanford students
explaining why CIGs was a better chemistry than silicon and that had the
Chinese not conspired against him the sun would never had set on SoloPower and
Solyndra.
From the
photo above one can see that the idea SoloPower had, was to lay long strips of
carpet like CIGs PV cells on a flat roof and save on installation costs. Solyndra’s business plan was also to save on
installation costs. The Chinese plan was
to make a cheap solar cell and let others figure it out how to install the cells
as inexpensively as possible. SoloPower
never drew the loan money that Chu wanted to give them, but the State of Oregon
got to see a spectacular sunset and is now foreclosing on the assets in the
factory in Portland.
As for me my favorite sun song is by the Beatles and is “here
comes the sun”. For SoloPower, Oregon, and Dr Chu they can
sing the last verse as “here come the
Chinese - here come the Chinese – its all over – it’s all over Sun Sun Sun”.

ReplyDeleteNowadays, the most popular technique for removing dents in your car is paintless dent removal (PDR). Depending on the degree or level of repair for your car, the techniques used in PDR vary although the basic methods are similar. https://redhotdistributors.com/
ReplyDeleteDespite the need for regular car maintenance and services like dent removal or body repair, consumers today often place the concerns of the environment above their own automotive needs. It makes sense; after all, our vehicles already put a strain on the ecological system, so it seems almost wasteful to put more chemicals into the earth for what seem to be cosmetic repairs. Fortunately, today's vehicle owners can have their cake and eat it too, with the help of paintless dent removal. Privacy window film
