Well, check this out... if you put it on a credit card, what you save on electricity can be used to pay off that hardcore debt!Sure, you're probably paying more than before you installed the panels (interest rates are ungodly these days) but, at least you're doing your part for the environment, at least until the panels become more economically viable for the general population.
This product says it's not going to replace the mainstream of solar panels. But I can imagine this being integrated in different parts of the home where no matter what your house is producing energy. Instead of you paying your utility company to use energy they pay you to use energy that your house produces. The end result though is this could definitely preserve look, along with eliminating any energy usage by the average consumer when enough solar panels are in place. I think its amazing.
I'm talking about conversion efficiency, not dollar efficiency. As for whether conversion efficiency translates to dollar efficiency, it depends on how much PV material is used. The tracking panels I linked use 80% less PV material, but the PV material they use is the expensive high efficiency stuff.

If by stylish you actually mean fugly, then sure.Seriously, people. Get a sense of taste. That thing is hideous.

There are other dye-based solar cells with 10-11% efficiency. The technology is viable. These guys are doing a poor job.

I think the point about dye-sensitised solar cells (second generation) is they are much cheaper than Silicon cells (first generation). So when you look at the Cost per Watt of generated power it is cheaper to generate power with these cells than Silicon.<a class="user" href="http://download.paramegsoft.com/">http://download.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://girls.paramegsoft.com/">http://girls.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.paramegsoft.com/">http://www.paramegsoft.com/</a>
