Video: Past, Present and Future of the Solar Industry

Thanks to reader Andre Angelantoni for pointing out this video (you can also download the audio, but you'll miss the slides) of a presentation by Dr. Richard Swanson, President and CTO of SunPower. It's about the past, present and future of the solar industry and not just in a vague, public relations way; it's very technical with lots of data, both about the technology and economics aspects. Extremely interesting stuff, highly recommended. The talk was given in April 2006, so the information is very up to date and the future of solar seems very bright (no pun intended).
