This is only true if you consider "boule-grown, diamond sawed" type solar cells. Look up "Konarka" solar cells for CURRENT cutting-edge technology.
Didn't see the price in $ per watt on their corporate homepage. Seems like yet another corporation just waiting to be bought out.
That being said, I strongly suspect conductive polymer technology will become cheaper as it matures. However, I'm still not convinced it has the same long term durability of silicon crystal based solar panels. It's a new technology. It shows a lot of promise, but we must remember that promises are not guarantees.
