I was looking at OnPoint Technologies, the military's venture capital arm, and I noticed that the investment portfolio is dominated by battery technology firms and solar energy companies, including Nanosolar, which has huge buzz in the technology world. Nanosolar is also backed by Google, and the company is shipping its first low cost solar panels this week.
I haven't seen rhetoric like this since the dotcom boom.
How to get hold of our product
That's a difficult question. Because we value the tens of thousands of inquiries we have received - yet our product is allocated so much in advance already.
Our product will be introduced into the market through a very small group of the most distinguished wholesalers there exist.
For instance, our first 100,000 panels are set to go into a very small number of private commercial installations where we deploy them in fenced or otherwise secured environments.
Focusing on a small number of non-public deployments simply makes everything so much easier for us to manage initially. Plus this also has the benefit of allowing us to secure an additional period of proprietary protection for all the new and product features we have.
All of the remainder of our 2008 product allocations are spoken for already too (for quite some time already in fact). This means that if your local system integrator has not secured any quantities from us, which typically will be the case, the next opportunity is in 2009.
The CEO of Nanosolar, Martin Roscheisen, is truly a remarkable man. I keep my eye on politics to the extent of pretty much everything else, but it's worth remembering that so much is possible and so much more is becoming possible every day. We are only one piece of a very large cultural movement to recraft a more peaceful and just global society.
