All of a sudden I'm less excited.

the paint form is currently about five times less efficient than the highest recorded efficiency for the multifilm form

Depends upon whether the “cheap” aspect holds up in comparison, doesn’t it?

If it’s 10X less costly, then 5X less efficient won’t be all that big a concern. The price to power a well pump, hot water heater, heatpump or a whole house would still be cut in half compared to multifilm if that were the case. Well, less inverters, etcetera which may or may not be equivalent.

Although the paint form is currently about five times less efficient than the highest recorded efficiency for the multifilm form

Just make the area 5 times larger...like on a huge solar farm.

But it makes up for it in cost.

For about the same that it would cost you to paint your house, you could coat your house with this stuff and keep your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

It’s 5 times less efficient than solar panels?

That means Omoslem must waste 5 times more taxpayer dollars on it.

Solyndra times 5.
