Solar Power Roof Shingles
Solar power??

I have read about a new type of solar panel/material that is made up of five different metals (can't remember which ones) that are produced more inexpensively than silicon cells. Possible applications were in roof shingles, panels, they were even working on putting it into paint and window glazings. ANybody know about this material, its applications, and how efficient this material is compared to silicon cells, both in terms of cost and electrical production?

What your looking for is called thin film solar. Go to the Internet with that phrase. Lots of info there.

You may find the manufacturers hard to talk to. I got the impression they are just cranking up for production, and not ready to give out too much information.
