First Solar Achieves World Record 18.6 % Thin Film Module Conversion Efficiency | Business Wire

First Solar Achieves World Record 18.6 % Thin Film Module Conversion Efficiency | Business Wire:

Wow.

The technology is really moving up. FirstSolar's thin film is really working its way up. That means you can produce more power with a smaller foot print. Or produce much more power with a bigger footprint.

Very cool to see solar gaining on wind (and, of course, non-renewable sources of power).
