Good review and video.  Nanosolar's goals of reducing costs through printing technology are similar to what Solexant is doing.  They are claiming to use even lower cost thin-film materials - nanocrystal thin film solar cells printed on metal. Pushing for $0.50/W and 10% efficiency.

Overall, I really like this angle on panel production.  Solar cells are not ASIC's, and their manufacturing shouldn't be either.
