The company also says its Plexcore(TM) PV technology could be printed like a newspaper and offer a viable alternative to power from the grid along with creating jobs and opportunities, helping to secure the nation’s energy supply and, of course, offering a positive environmental impact

Dr. Troy Hammond, VP of Products, spoke to the US House of Representatives to the Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality to encourage continuing legislation to support solar energy.
