This week in Los Angeles the solar industry filled a convention center with the latest in next-generation solar panels, solar concentrators, and various solar gear. Called SPI (Solar Power International), the show sometimes offers the first look at some of the really bleeding edge solar tech, like building integrated panels, solar stickers and see-through solar panels. Here’s my photos from the show floor:
