The Swedish and Dutch-owned company Akzo-Nobel, a partner in the H-AS research, already has a pilot plant producing rolls of silicon cells 40 centimetres wide. A projected full-scale manufacturing plant would produce panels at a cost of about ?1 per watt. An A4-size panel sewn onto the back of a jacket and costing less than ?10 would charge a mobile phone during a summer stroll. The company has not yet decided to go ahead with the plant. Jeremy Leggett, chief executive of the UK solar cell supplier Solar Century, is impressed, describing the ?1 per watt price point as "breathtaking".
