Solar Advance - $100K Funding

It's nice to know there is still room for the little guy and that $100,000 in funding may make a difference. Bloo Solar claims that with it's new technology (if they get it to market) it will reduce the cost of solar so it's competitive. Currently production solar cells are only at 20% efficiency, and 40% in the lab. Bloo Solar is doing more of a 3 dimensional approach and uses thin film solar. The aim is to reduce the cost of manufacturing and increase the efficiency.
