@jblue@mastodon.world @cassolotl@toot.wales it's wildly expensive and extremely inefficient compared to standard systems, the largest they made so far is 14"x20" and require special wired frames, so they don't really replace big glass panels (at least as they currently have them), they did a few test installations which work but are kinda underwhelming, 2% efficiency that really only produces in full early morning and late afternoon isn't much, they were able to light a single room's LED lighting using this array

@jblue@mastodon.world @cassolotl@toot.wales afaik they ran out of funding last year, it's cool tech but at it's current state a wall sized array is out-performed by a $40 1 sq ft conventional panel you could just hang in the window
