It is known, that the OSC-s (organic solar cells, polymer solar cells) degrades quite quickly (up to 2-3 years) at natural bright insolation and have quite low energy efficiency (up to 7-10%). It is known too, that the smaller OSC – panel, the thinner and cheaper in cube its cost, while the OSC made by roll-on-roll technologies can be 100-1000 cheaper than Si-PV, being now about USD 0.5 per watt, or USD 500.0/kW.

I can offer to shield the OSC by a thin cover to diminish twice the insolation and can suppose it can triply increase the OSC life time up to 7 years and increase its energy efficiency up to 10%, while 0.25 mm steel support would be enough for firmness of 1 m2 OSC.

For sunny regions, it can be about 0.4 USA cents per kWh electricity for Israel conditions, with 2000 kWh/m2 sun in a year on perpendicular area
  
Really:
For spring/autumn months taken here as averaged sun in a year, the sun fall is
2000 kWh/m2 * sin 82.5 * sin 45 = 1400 kWh/m2.
For 7 % efficiency it can produce 100 kWh per m2
The OSC can be 0.25 mm * 7.8  = 2 kg Fe/m2 * USD 0.6/kg = USD 1.2 + 20% for others it is USD 1.44 = 144 cents, if the OSC film and its shield being negligible. .
So 144 cents/100 kWh = 1.44 cent/kWh. If being spread on 7 years by 50% shield cover, it gives 0.4 cents/kWh electricity. QED!!!

Progressive city-car realization and powering-Updated,#1

Progressive city-car realization and powering-Updated, #1 Author: David Judbarovski, principle inventor, retired engineer, Israel judbarovski@gmail.com   Short CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-judbarovski-1390944a/ Archive since 2017 yr: http://judbarovski.blogspot.be Archive since 2006 yr.: http://judbarovski.livejournal.com [3791]-3/11/2017,   My three levels’ conception of progressive transportation was disclosed in http://www.judbarovski.blogspot.co.il/2017/05/progressive-transportation-manifesto.html  (Progressive transportation manifesto, May 02. 2017). Its first level is a city-car.   Special designed city-car is a car moved electrically and equipped by very small battery as a city-grid element, and it isn’t big news now. Such cars are to be much cheaper and simpler than conventional cars and save a lot of energy. But I can suppose strictly to reject all sorts of powering them from underground, because it is energy ineffective and ...

Progressive Transportation Manifesto

Progressive Transportation Manifesto. Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, retired engineer, Israel judbarovski@gmail.com , Linkedin: David Judbarovski  http://judbarovski.livejournal.com ,  http://judbarovski.blogspot.co.il   It can be three levels global transportation system. (1) Urban traffic is provided by specially designed cars only and being electric pilotless cars fed from electric grid, with a tiny battery needed for emergency occasions only and offered as a new market products being a city taxi analogously to the UBER taxi optimized by time of delivery, number of passengers and cargo load. It’s ecologically friendly transport can save a lot of money and time for its users. It will avoid a human factor and traffic accidents.    (2) Personal cars must be avoided from cities’ roads and collected on the personal cars stations outside the cities and serving for suburb’s or rural routes up to about 700 km range. I can o...

Fresh look, Japan offshore

Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry Japan, https://criepi.denken.or.jp/cgi-bin/en/inquiry/inquiry_entry.cgi   Dear Secretary, I can suppose you to be no big professional in engineering, so please forward my very interdisciplinary message to your institute professionals of Energy Innovation Center and/or to your Planning Group having intellectual Property Sectors, as its high importance merits for Japan energy security and economics and independence.   1.5.2019 Abstract During last three years the Japan government’s energy authorities declared and then rejected different Strategic Energy Plans (“SEP”), each more stupid than the previous ones, but the all of them need some trillions USA dollars of budget and being depended from foreigners. Being uniquely educated & experienced engineer (see short CV in attachment), I can confirm that Japan can be energy independent after three years of works by about one milliard USA dollars of total b...
