New flexible, stick-on, solar panels have been created by Global Solar. This new flexible solar module allows builders to stick it directly on the roof rather than needing to use heavy glass-covered cells. Each module is 19 feet long and is made out of copper, indium, selenium, and gallium.
OPERATION GREEN GOODS IS UNDER WAY:
These new flexible stick-on solar panels are perfect for cargo train and 18-wheeler applications. They just need the proper development for US goods transportation. OE Technology would like to be the first to develop this application, but that would require mass funding. Luckily, the US government has already started to heavily invest in solar industry development and green job creation.
As I said a year ago, the United States will be the leader in developing solar technologies. During the current economic recession, solar and wind technology is the perfect way to develop new American jobs. In President Obama's Oval Office Press Conference ending the War in Iraq, a major part of his plan was providing jobs for returning military men and women at home.
The American solar company, SunPower, that started in 1988 "... won several US Government contracts to install solar products for numerous agencies " ... Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), the General Services Administration (GSA), the Navy and the Air Force. ... " These will create " ... more than 1000 local jobs during the construction ... represent a minimum of 20 megawatts (MW) of new solar projects ..." [Green Technology]
