I just measured the light coming off one in a reasonably bright room with an insolation meter. About 75 cm from the light, we were reading less than 10 W/m^2 (we might see 1300 W/m^2 outside on a sunny day here). If these panels are 18% efficient (pretty good for a solar panel), we'll see under 2 Watts per square meter of panel. Just 8 m^2 of panels will run a desk lamp with a CFL, saving $2.25 a year if it is on 2000hrs a year and electricity is $0.08/kWh. If 8m^2 of panel costs just $1000 (very low estimate), we have a payback time of just under 450 years.<br><br>(back of napkin calculations, don't rely on these numbers)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pjkeyzer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2010 3:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Solaroad's CubeTube adds solar panels to your cube, lowers the cost of you working there]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/solaroads-cubetube-adds-solar-panels-to-your-cubical-lowers-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/solaroads-cubetube-adds-solar-panels-to-your-cubical-lowers-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[@chemix +1 for bothering.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BloodyHell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2010 2:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
