IS DBK SOLAR FOR REAL?

DBK CLAIM:  "DBK's new technologically advanced (MEL) solar panels are using 70 percent of the sun wavelengths instead of 17 percent."
"In March of 2006, DBK will be unveiling the world must efficient and powerful solar panel 3,000 watts."

REAL NEWS FACTS:
Conversion Efficiencies of Photovoltaic Materials -  2005   7% - 17%
New World Record Achieved in Solar Cell Technology  - 2006

40.7 percent efficiency

REAL NEWS FACTS: New Solar Photovoltaic Cell Efficiency Record: 42.8% - July 25, 2007

COMMENTS ABOUT DBK PANELS BORROWED FROM THE CRUISERS FORUM

The DBK manufactured panels are not on the
approved list of the California Energy Commission

 
IF YOU CAN PROVE DBK PANELS PRODUCE 70% EFFICIENCY WITH A 3000 WATT SOLAR PANEL I WILL GIVE YOU A FREE MONTH ON MY YACHT! JUST THROW THE SOLAR PANEL ON YOUR ROOF - NO WIRING NECESSARY AND IT WILL POWER YOUR WHOLE BUILDING!

How to Detect a Solar Scam

"Certainly DBK has all of the hallmarks of a scam, and their 1,000,000 MW goal by the end of 2007 is laughable if for no other reason than that it amounts to 20% of the new capacity the entire world will need over the next 20 years. Even if they could make that much by the end of the year, they would sell only a small fraction of it."

The performance of a solar cell is measured in terms of its efficiency at turning sunlight into electricity. Only sunlight of certain energies will work efficiently to create electricity, and much of it is reflected or absorbed by the material that make up the cell. Because of this, a typical commercial solar cell has an efficiency of 15%—about one-sixth of the sunlight striking the cell generates electricity. Low efficiencies mean that larger arrays are needed, and that means higher cost. Improving solar cell efficiencies while holding down the cost per cell is an important goal of the PV industry, NREL researchers, and other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories, and they have made significant progress. The first solar cells,

Find out about NREL research in photovoltaic technologies from DOE's National Center for Photovoltaics.built in the 1950s, had efficiencies of less than 4%.


DBK's greatest quote to date:     " Our panel gets 700 watts from the sun to our panel and the rest is electronic amplification to bring it up to 3000 watts.
We have a patent on the system, it is our this is not a HOAX in spite of what the skeptic's are saying."

"Responses from DBK carry abundant hallmarks of a sales scam.
1. Lots of name dropping and important sounding credentials which can't be verified
2. Lots of scientific sounding buzzwords which to those who recognize them add up to meaningless dribble
3. Stories about how you the customer are privileged "in the know" and are going to make gobs of money from a venture, but for some dramatic reason, no one else can be found in the world who wants the money.
4. Description of the "technology" consists of valid technical explanations of how the success of the technology would benefit you but no explanation of how the technology would succeed. e.g. "Your new money tree, if amortized over a ten year period, compounded annually, will provide the cash flow to pay down your debt in half the time, allowing you to buy two houses instead of one." Great, but where did the "money tree" come from again? "We'll have to explain that later. We don't want our competition to know. First give us a $40,000 deposit."

"Power Amplification" is a twist on the meaning of words. You don't amplify power. You use power to amplify something that lacks power. Saying that a solar panel only receives 300 Watts but is "electrically amplified to 2000 Watts" is the electrical equivalent of saying you can "amplify" your rain water collection system using sprinklers. Think of all the weight you would save if you didn't have to carry along water! Instead take this special dehydrated water and hydroponically amplify the amount of water by rehydrating it."..........Randomandy
