CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 10 (UPI) — Greentech Media, an online, analyst-driven U.S. media firm in the renewable energies industry, will host a “webinar” called “The Future of Thin Film Solar.”

Greentech will host the one-hour webinar July 19 on its latest research report co-authored by the Prometheus Institute for Sustainable Development.

Greentech officials say the report provides a comprehensive economic analysis of the thin-film solar market to date and reveals how thin-film technology will underpin years of competitive, profitable growth for those successful players within the market and threaten existing solar manufacturers who rely solely on polysilicon.

“While thin films will for many years be less efficient than crystalline photovoltaic technology, their ability to create electricity at a substantially lower cost and in a much wider range of products and form factors will allow thin films to gain critical market share,” Travis Bradford, president of the Prometheus Institute, said in a statement.

“The ability to deliver electricity cheaply and ubiquitously will put thin film solar in a position to challenge the preeminence of polysilicon, and upset the status of established players in the industry,” Bradford said.

The free webinar will include a 15-minute question-and-answer period. Scott Clavenna, president of Greentech Media, will host and Bradford will present and take questions from the audience.
