Prism Makes $1 a Watt Unique Solar Hybrid of Holographic Thin-film Strips AND PV

Abstract:
Prism Solar Technologies in Highland, NY has innovated a breakthrough holographic thin-film (Holographic Planar Concentrator™) that makes possible a very parsimonious use of crystalline PV cells to counteract that problem for Northern regions.

This brings the cost down to $1 a watt.
