Well thanks for the informed contribution.


The thing about solar technology is, the more you improve the technology's efficiency, the faster you can recoup the installation costs and be getting 'free' energy. As soon as people/organizations don't need to amortize the cost over as long a period to fully recover the inital outlay, you will get more adopters, allowing for more market penetration, further inprovements and cost savings.

IMO, efficiency with respect to solar is misleading, it's not like you're 'wasting' a resource by using it up in an inefficient fashion.
