New Technology Could Make Solar Power Less Expensive

The Montrose Daily Press (March 26, 2010) has an article entitled New design to spawn cheaper solar energy, 300 Montrose jobs by Kati O’Hare.

It reports the following:

A Colorado company called Aquasoladyne has developed a promising new concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) system. Its newly patented design requires less material to manufacture and operates more efficiently than current systems.

Aquasoladyne President Douglas Kiesewetter stated, “We think in two years, we can make solar cheaper than utility power without government subsidies.”

In addition, the company plans to create 300 local jobs. Kiesewetter said, “We want to manufacture as much here as we can.” He added, “My goal also has been to create high-quality jobs because I think a lot of people are underemployed.”
