There is a new kind of solar cells which has been recently invented, it
uses fiberglass, maybe it is plastic, ''strings/filaments''.It is much
more efficient and also much less costly than the older style of solar

cuhulin, are you referring to the "thin film" technology? Looks like
big sheets of plastic with wires coming out the end? These certainly
