Solar thin film against the tube shaped solar panels they seem like two sides of the same coin. Both have their advantages, I havent used or worked with tube shaped solar so i cant have my say on it. Ultimately its solar electricity which will be produced by using both of them.

[...] Nanosolar: Hype Down, Hiring Up Written by Jennifer Kho No Comments Posted July 7th, 2009 at 8:35 am in Energy Thin-film solar startup Nanosolar isn’t exactly known for being shy. The San Jose, Calif.-based company has attracted plenty of attention –- as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in funding -– for claims that its technology can produce highly efficient copper-indium-gallium-diselenide panels for less than $1 per watt. A post from outspoken CEO Martin Roscheisen back in December, for example, essentially bashed competitor Solyndra, claiming its tube-style design provides no advantage over flat panels. [...]

[...] Solyndra, the Fremont, Calif.-based manufacturer of thin-film solar tubes, stayed quiet for years, but came out of stealth with an announcement that it raised a massive $600 million from investors. Since then the company has announced sales contracts of approximately $1.8 billion, and in recent weeks, announced deals totaling some $300 million to supply panels to European integrators.

I am a buisnessman wnting to improve not only myself but also my community in the realm of solar power. I have had some knowledge in this regard even to help my neighbour to build a solar panel out of coal dust. It was highly efficient. What I would like is to find out how to get hold of thin film solar panels and the building of the same for commercial use.

Location, Location, Location! Some folks might prefer one to the other type, but mostly the market place will decide, and with the (GRD) great republican depression pushing independent and off grid as well as Zero running cost, Zero upkeep survival dwellings, likely the market place can accommodate both! The GRD has yet to reflect the soon to rise (OPEC meets this month) oil prices, and the diluted dollar will also show as increases in oil prices, so get ready for a a double whammy, America, and expect plug in Smart cars from China at Walmart near you for $6000.00 a copy soon! The GRD will also bring the bankruptcy of the commercial food supply chain. be prepared to grow your own food under LED growing lights supplied by PV sources or starve! Like any other large corporations, the commercial food supply chains depend on a volume market and banks for financing, not proven so dependable now-a-days! So, LED up your greenhouse, add solar PV power and pray for your fellow Americans that are totally dependent on the system, it is collapsing as we speak!
