...Systems at the University of New South Wales in Australia. The two scientists recently unveiled a design for PV cells that has the potential to reduce the cost of photovoltaic electricity 80% -- to levels competitive with conventional power production. Paul Basore, who oversees research on . photovoltaics at the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, predicts that within 20 years, homeowners and small businesses everywhere but in the gloomiest climates will find it most economical to generate their own solar power...
