Abound Solar company creates state of the art solar panels that produce more power for a fraction of the cost. They use cadium telluride in comparison to normal crystalline silicon. It only takes about 5 months to create more energy than it took to make the panels which is also 5x faster than the traditional solar panels. Obama has also given a $400 million for them to expand their plant in Colorado and create a new one in Indiana. This plant construction will create 2000 jobs and 1500 permanent jobs. This production will also be enough to fuel 200,000 homes. It is great that there are amazing advancements taking place in the world of green energy.
