News of BioSolar's BioBacksheet(TM) Technology Hits the Blogosphere
Business Wire "US Press Releases "
SANTA CLARITA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
BioSolar, Inc. (OTCBB:BSRC) continues to garner media coverage
following last month's announcement that materials derived from cotton
and castor beans compose the company's proprietary BioBacksheet(TM), a
protective covering, traditionally made from expensive petroleum-based
film, used in the back of virtually all photovoltaic solar modules.
A recent article on Solar1.com, hailed BioSolar's technology as
"welcome news, especially at a time when high oil prices are
counteracting the cost reductions in other phases of solar panel
manufacture."
In a September 8 posting on CleanTechnica, a premier site for
commentary on clean technologies, Michelle Bennett noted that
"BioSolar has proven that petroleum products are not necessary to
produce renewable energy," adding "the best part about it is the cost:
up to 50% less than traditional plastic backsheets. As the price of
petroleum and petroleum-products rise, this alternative starts to look
more lucrative than altruistic."
"With online blogs now exceeding some mainstream media outlets in
terms of audience and reach, we are delighted to see our company's
news and development become a topic of genuine discussion at these
online media sites," said Dr. David Lee, CEO of BioSolar. "Blogs are
just one example of the success BioSolar has enjoyed in launching and
raising the profile of our BioBacksheet(TM)."
The latest wave of online interest follows the company's official
announcement of the technology behind the BioBacksheet at the SPIE
Symposium on Solar Applications and Energy conference on August 12,
2008 which was reported on: GreenTech Media, CNET, Scientific American
and United Press International, among others.
