For the Newby's on the board.
O.k. I'm going to hold a contest for anyone who gets the closest to the in-house efficiency rating without going over. The winner will receive a prize from me in Alaska. I will personally mail the winner something either made, raised, grown or caught in Alaska.
I will private msg the winner.

2/12/ 2014 Solar3D Third Generation Prototype Enters Testing Phase
"It is very exciting to enter the final phase of the fabrication of third generation prototype of our powerful new solar cell," said Jim Nelson, CEO of Solar3D.
7/16/2014 Solar3D Achieves 10% Power Increase
"This new prototype is a leap forward for us," said Changwan Son, Director of Technology for Solar3D. "By using thinner silicon, we have less waste and yield more efficiency -- producing almost 10% more power than our original prototype. And by fine-tuning the 3-dimensional light collecting structures in our solar cell, we are able to collect even more light at wider angles than the original version."
The initial 2012 prototype design was calculated to produce just over 25% efficiency -- the highest of any silicon solar cell. Even more important was an originally unanticipated feature -- wide-angle light collection -- allowing for the generation of electricity throughout more times of the days and seasons. This feature increases the length of time during which light can be effectively converted to electricity, relative to current technology. Current technology is most effective for a few hours in the middle of the day.
