Solarity has developed a nanotechnology-based, third-generation solar cell architecture that does two things: 1.) collects light extremely efficiently (allowing the cell to perform over a much wider daylight band than conventional panels) and 2.) converts that light into electricity with a very effective cost/watt ratio, the key factor in solar cell evaluation Called Light and Carrier Collection Management (LCCM) architecture, this thin-film technology promises much lower manufacturing costs than conventional silicon-based cells, can likely be made using full automation, and as such can be produced in the US
