Glass has been the armor of choice because it&#8217;s cheap, weather-resistant, and durable enough to last decades. The vast majority of the solar panels made today rely on glass as the top cover. But glass also adds weight and bulk to solar panels, and it must be packaged carefully to keep it from breaking, adding to shipping costs. By replacing glass, the new film can do away with the need for supporting racks, which is particularly useful on roofs that can&#8217;t bear a lot of weight. Blending solar panels into roofs also can overcome aesthetic objections by homeowners.<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/cloud\/lampertina\">tags<\/a>: \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/mit_techreview\">mit_techreview<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/solar_power\">solar_power<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/green_technologies\">green_technologies<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
