Talk:Konarka Technologies

Talk
I'm glad this article mentions the company was founded in 2001. The Internet Archive shows that even in October 02 Konarka was already talking up its new technology, though probably more in the R&D phase at the time. It's now many years later. I'm ready to power my devices with this stuff, so where's Konarka? Am I too impatient, or is this a valid concern for a company promising such amazing new technology?

I've followed this company for years now (at least since 2004), and during that time I've seen no real details of when they intend to bring a product to market. So, where's the beef?

I agree
Their articles talk of all they have accomplished and they appear to have adequate funding. But nowhere on their webpage (or anywhere else) does it say when or where their product is available. If it is going to be available only to industries I'd like to see overlapping/interlocking roofing tiles for the average home. At a competitive price, of course. What a reduction in electric use that would be if our homes had that! Rottie49 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rottie49 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

They should change their name to conarta —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.94.176.22 (talk) 06:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Errors on Page
There are some errors on this wiki page. Even though Konarka has been doing research on Dye Sensitized Cells their "Power Plastic" is based on polymer:fullerene cells. Problem is I can't find a source on the net this is the case. I'll leave the page as it is for now till I find one. Some other minor errors are on the page like for instance " titanium dioxide carbon nanostructures called fullerenes". Organic solar cells can be based on TiO nanoparticles (DSC's) or fullerene derivatives (Polymer:Fulllerene cells) TiO is no fullerene. I'll correct these errors soon.

 * Here you go. This is a reliable source that says that Konarka is making polymer-fullerene-blend solar cells commercially. --Steve (talk) 21:47, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, a bunch of the references already were explicitly discussing their polymer-fullerene research. I rewrote the article splitting up these two different designs. Better now? --Steve (talk) 22:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
