Tom Cheyney is former senior editor of PV-Tech / Photovoltaics International magazine. A veteran technology journalist / editor / blogger, he covered the semiconductor, microelectronics and solar sectors for many years - since fax machines were state of the art. His PV-Tech blog has become a must-read for industry insiders and observers. He was also chief editor of "The Rise of Thin-Film Solar Technology" book published in early 2010.
As we reported in Fabtech's pair o' blogs last week, Nanosolar
announced it had shipped its first CIGS-based solar panels and put its
second roll-to-roll manufactured panel up for auction on eBay, with the
proceeds destined for charity. Because of some regulations on the
auction site about using it for charitable fundraising purposes, eBay
canceled the Nanosolar activity late last week, so don't try and join
in the bidding fun (which, btw, had skyrocketed from the starting price
of 99 cents past $13,000 with almost a week to go). For now, panel no.
2 will stay at the thin-film photovoltaic upstart's Silicon Valley HQ,
where it will keep panel no. 1 company.
