Hey there SolarGuyII - welcome. The philosophy of this board is to be nice to newcomers (as long as they are themselves nice) and try to help out answering their questions.

I guess I am not "new to the market" but I am from Australia meaning I don't fully understand all the US nuances.

Solar3D's solar cell as promised is indeed a game changer provided that it can be manufactured at a low enough cost.

Batteries aren't really a big deal to add into solar installations - just that at the moment they are not particularly cost effective.

Hard to value Solar3D - if the solar cell flies then would certainly be more than $70 mil.

I would call it as a speculative but promising investment - not yet a no brainer until there is reliable 3rd party validation of the solar cell.

Yep, Solar City is not profitable and is also taking a large risk (with other peoples money) on building a great big factory. Personally, in the case of Solar3d I think I would prefer to start smaller and prove up the technology.
