Solar power to undercut gas and oil soon

According to a post on the telegraphs web site cheap solar power is poised to undercut oil and gas by half.

This article is about a Swiss company FLISOM who are currently predicting that there new solar technology will be commercially available by 2009 and it will provide solar power at under the holly grail of $1 per watt.

FLISOM aren't stopping there though, they claim that within 5 years they will have reached 80 cent a watt and within 10 years they will have further reduced the price to 50 cent a watt. If this could be achieved it would have amazing benefits to the solar industry. With those kinds of prices it would make solar energy on every roof top a viable option without it having to be subsidised by the government.

Lets hope that FLISOM can make good its promises and provide us with the technology to create our own power cleanly and cheaply.
