Dr. Steve,

Not to my knowledge, but I don't know much about my family tree...

Outstanding that you found the picture! I will add it to my blog at an appropriate time, such as the next time I update about my sliding solar panel installation plans.

Thanks for thinking about this thread long after it had fallen.

A "new generation of cells has been about to hit the market" any moment now for decades. And the truth is, not much has actually changed. I would love to see a major breakthrough, but as it is panels tend to get just a little bit more efficient every year - nothing "phenom" has made it out of the lab yet.

But I don't care - I still love my solar panels.  Every day without a generator buzzing away is a day of happiness.  *grin*
