Photovoltaic Solar Cells Inc announced that it has created a dye doped Graphite/Graphene only solar cell. This solar cell will be produced using a production tool that the company is building. This equipment can produce either a solar cell or a solar strip that can be used as a roofing tile.
According to Photovoltaic Solar Cells Inc, the solar cell is inexpensive, environmentally friendly, reliable, flexible and durable enough that it can be walked on.
Over the past 12 years, the company has worked with dye doped TiO2, CIGS materials, CdTe CdS materials, a-Si materials, Si materials and a Si Graphite/Graphene blend. It now has created the first dye doped Graphite/Graphene Solar Cell.
The company says that it has applied for and has been awarded over 30 patents in various areas of Photovoltaics.

Without seeing their patents, I can't comment on whether this is a fraud or merely a case of sloppy implementations of valid discoveries. Turning an idea into a reliable, manufacturable working product is a much bigger deal than most people think.
Buckeyeballs?
You know, I'd agree except for the thing at the end about investing. Also, if this was actually true, they could find a great array of volunteers who would love to do everything they could to make a dream like this come true for the sake of the planet. Certainly they could find someone who knows the difference between 'waste' and 'waist,' and could actually write a decent webpage. This kind of breakthrough, were it true, would send ripples around the world and the people involved would be instant celebs in the realm of renewable energy with solid footing in Nobel prizes and being lauded by all universities with at least the same amount of attention that was given cold fusion. This looks like a dud, and I'm surprised that anyone would believe anything from this company until it's actually sold its first roll of cells and concrete details as to its abilities were released.
I'll bet dollars to donuts it's a scam.
11. This company is a public company.

If management of the company deems that information it publishes here is material then that information will be put out in a news announcement over a National News Wire on the day that it is published on this web site. The company has 4,915,000 shares issued and outstanding. It has 640,000 shares in its public float. The stock transfer agent is Continental Stock Transfer of New York.
Makes me think 'scam.' It doesn't mention *anything* about efficiency ratings or even a remote projection of cost per meter of material. The website offers such poor information that I can't help but wonder if it's some kind of stupid prank or a scam to try to get suckers to invest.
"This country was built on innovation. It is being destroyed by evil." This about as naive as it gets. The US got its big kick in innovation when it got half of Germany's scientists at the conclusion of WWII, just as the Russians got the other half and became the world's other superpower. Anyways, that's too much digressive politics for what I figure should be a discussion about whether or not that website is valid or a scam.
That website has no important information, such as absorption efficiency and cost per square meter for the product. I'm not scamming anyone. I'm not selling anything in my post. You, on the other hand, reacted emotionally and attacked my intelligence. I only attacked the legitimacy of the website which seems to lack important scientific detail, yet offer rather specific investment advice. That's why I think it's a scam. Your emotional response isn't that of an intellectual, but rather that of a sensationalist, or con artist trying to divert attention from the issues I brought up with the site. Notice I wasn't the only person who believed the website's validity to be suspect.
