The market for thin-film and organic photovoltaic (PV) materials will reach US $3.8 billion by 2015, according to a March research report produced by NanoMarkets.

The cost to produce a watt of energy right now using current solar technologies is about US $4 per watt. Using Plextronics' technology, we believe that you can reduce that to around US $1 a watt in high-volume manufacturing.

The projected cost of organic solar cells is in the less than US $0.40 cents/watt range
