Current solar panels have nothing in common with this manufacturing method. It uses a machine based on obsolete amorphous thin-film silicon solar cells. The article just indicates that the technology is understood, not that solar manufacturers can produce batteries.
Even if that were true, this is a release by a company... they aren't going to give away their technology for other people to use.
- wernercd 9y agoI never said this company would "give" away the technology... nor do they honestly have to produce it themselves. That's what licensing agreements are for. I just think that if I was a solar company that could use my equipment to produce batteries as well? That would be high on the priority list to include in packages... Companies sure do love bundling things together.
