Giant Photovoltaic Module to be Built
October 24, 2006 (UPI)
- Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. and PermaCity Solar, of Los Angeles, will develop jointly the world`s largest flexible photovoltaic module…

The companies…expect the largest of the new modules will be three to four feet wide and nearly half a football field in length, and that it should provide roughly 100 times the power of the largest silicon module available in the market today.
- The 'products are expected to generate between 100 watts and 5,000 watts of power per module, depending upon size…the modules will reduce the cost of electricity generated with today`s silicon-based photovoltaic systems by a factor of two, and feature 'cost levels comparable to today`s fossil fuel power plants.'
