I thought the linked story was pretty interesting. It looks like this company, Nanosolar, has come out with a solar "sheet" that reduces solar production from $3 per watt to 30 cents per watt! This is huge!! You could cover your house with these (once they have something suitable for our weather here in the pacific northwest) and take a nice trim off of your power bill during sunny days.

Anyhow, I think it would be kind of cool to get an electric car and put these all over the outside. Depending on the part of the country, you would probably never need to recharge by A/C outlet unless you did a ton of night driving.
