Matt Great when can I buy it. 9/25/2008
Ron W. I think this is a beautiful development. We need this type of new energy technology here in the U.S. The more energy independent we are the less we need to get involved in foreign adventures in the name oil. 9/5/2008

Ken Pope So i read this now in 2008 and wonder where they went with this technology? Did Eskom buy the patent up ? 4/19/2008
T Dixon If we would like to install solar panels on the roof of our house:
* is it expensive?
* would we have to replace same in, say about 10 years?
* is it cost effective?

michele ayton What is the name of the company that is manufacturing these Solar panels in South Africa and how can we order them? I desperately want to go the Solar Panel route but have had a great deal of difficulty finding a company that makes them here in SA and not having to import them from Germany or China. The cost of the Solar Panels was not mentioned either can you advise. Many thanks and well done South Africa. Your brilliant! 4/7/2008
leonard please ad me to your mailing list for any more info on this artical, SA, if not the world, is in an energy crisis, and free energy is being iqnored/withheld in the interests of finantial gain & power hungry organisatins. Cel 082 896 6793 att:leonard 2/10/2008
poes systems are already available to use water for free energy but water cannot be taxed so we all must suffer 1/29/2008

Peter Smith What has happened to these South African solar panels? Have seen nothing about them recently. Are they being manufactured overseas, thus depriving us of the benefits? 1/23/2008
Budge Stewart Hi. I'm really enterested in your product, both on a personal basis and with a possibility to market the product in the Cape Town area, ie Western Province, and I also have friends in Bondai in Australia who are extremely keen. In addition, there are some people in Johannesburg that I have spoken to who said that if I could get something going, they are really keen as well. I don't know if you do all your own marketing, or would you be willing to talk and negotiate some sort of arrangement.
I am also really enterested to know more about the flexibility of your unit. Are you saying that it can virtually take on the shape of any style roof as opposed to the rigid ones that don't bend at all?
I really look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Budge Stewart

R F BANWELL This is long awaited step fwd to our country being less reliant on Eskom. Each home, where possible should adopt this technology and reduce the draw on Eskom and infact feed back into the grid. But can we get it off the ground and make it happen. Where can I get hold of the panels? The batteries and inverter/charger controllers are easy, its the panels I need. Help! 4/5/2007
Kevin Where can we get this product? What do I need to do to market this product on to the South African consumer?

Duncan Howard Brilliant! Well done to the guys at Joburg university for such a ground-breaking discovery. Double thumbs up on getting the worldwide patent, we need South Africans to benefit from this. To the Capetonians "No more power failures!" 9/27/2006

LaDonna How do I get one? Need an article on accessing this technology! 8/23/2006
John H. Gartner Presuming this is true, I believe it is a great energy saving device, but the U.S. interests will probably place barriers against it. Hopefully it will not. This is, indeed, great news. 8/22/2006
Gene Sounds too good to be true. But if it is true, I would purchase one. 8/21/2006
