These are more for when weight and space is important in application. I at the time was looking to make a single compact array for solar tracking, less posts, less tracking means you can go higher end with the tracking type and get more out of them making it more like 1.50 a watt. Also powering the conventional home with merely a 9ft² array is nice. Not only that but if optimal placement is limited this remedys that. They're more space grade so you know you're getting one really reliable product as well. @Tom it was 2.30-2.65 a watt back when I was in the market for it.

Very very impressive figures, at the time they had triangles from the cells cornerpieces which were scrap, nearly bought a ton and wired it myself. Glad I didn't though cause I'm saving to build a house of the likes the world hasn't seen. Maybe after it's complete I'd consider that route for further efficiency. I'm looking at blowing all heating and cooling efficiency figures out of the water through design alone as well as record density when it comes to edible vegatation and aquaculture. You'll probly see it on cleantechnica in about a year or so. I remember almost buying thousands in cell fragments from them in 04.
