Mark, I liked Werbos' response to the article as well. You all know I forward this Thin Film Solar Cell manufacturing as key to SBSP feasiblity. Manufacturing...

I think this proposal is going to be dominated by the heat sink problems. I know of one way to solve such problems, but it can't be tested on earth. If...
I think this one will not be able to even stand next to MW power DS4G Thrusters. We can around 2 kW/kg propulsion now. 130 W/kg seems somewhat of an...

Good work for NREL. It seems ground solar cells move forward. With 4.6 kilograms of glass cover slides and other mass add-ons for launch, the very efficient...
... This is interesting. Let's take a look at some numbers. Consider peak sunlight (on the ground) as a kW/m exp 2. So the output of a sq meter would be...
One cool thing about these solar cells if they are receiving 326 times the light from the sun by using a parabolic mirror or lenses, you could more than...

... I'm sorry, I miss your point here. What's important is kg/kW. 4.66 kg/m2/130kW is only 35 grams/kW. 77,000 m2 of them would only mass 359 tonnes. That's...
Now try with a real world comparison ... like 330 watt per m2 at 4.66 kg/m2 AND use real world configuration for rigid array panels. (see attached) ... From:...
Keith, I think you have misplaced a comma or two. That is 1.357kW/m2 not 1357 kW. 1,357Watt/m2 / 4.66 kg/m2 = 291 Watt/kilogram Our thin film cells at 12.4%...
... Unless I don't understand what they are talking about, the article notes "The 40.8 percent efficiency was measured under concentrated light of 326 suns." ...
