    The article mentions that thin films work best in warm temperatures. How well do they work at lower temps? My winters get down to -30F.

    I have come up with a Method, to produce Electricity that will out
    produce Flat Panel (from 10 or 12%, to 60 or 70%) from 2.9 watts
    per Sq. ft., to 20 or 25 watts per Sq. ft.. What I need to know is,
    how much would 40sq ft of Thin-Film Laminate cost me? Or do I need
    to buy a larger amount, in order to get a good price, and get
    instructions on the application? God Bless and God Bless America

    I am very interested in the thin film PV which can be applied to
    metal roofing. I am building a new house in Florence, Oregon and
    have been unalble to locate the material used in the article " Easy
    Solar Power". Can you ask Heckeroth where It can be obtained for
    the home owner and can it be used on a hip roof? I have searched
    the internet and only been able to locate it for large comercial
    applications.
    Mother responds: You can reach the company at

    I haven't browsed though you web site but I noticed that when the
    page loaded there was a pop-up box requiring me to respond by
    filling out an application or click nothanks just to get rid of the
    box. I was so iritated by this box that I decided I will do
    anything to get rid of it. so i clicked not interested. Here is the
    problem. You are forcing people to make a decision when they
    haven't had time to decide if they are interested in the contents
    of your site. So if you want people to register their contact info
    on your site introduce the pop-up a few pages into the site and
    don't make it interfere with the view of the page in such an
    obvious way.
