If it pans out it will be great! As to people here complaining about solar
and the cost. Read the first paragraph in the article.

"Solar power is inefficient. Whenever those plains of panels are laid out,
the sunlight they convert into stored energy also degrades their
effectiveness. With each day the panels spend smoldering under the sun, they
become more unreliable in harvesting the rays. For many new systems,
designed for lower cost and flexibility, degradation is a huge issue: In
just 60 hours, efficiency can sometimes plummet as much as 90%. "

And you want to mortgage your kids and grandkids lives to pay for this crap?
If they can get efficiency and lifespan at an affordable cost, they go for
it. Affordable cost is not having the government subsidize the cost, as
that is just shifting who pays the money.

Almost every invention when first developed was too expensive,
unreliable, etc.

And an alarming number remain that way until they fade away.
Go find a stack of popular mechanics magazines from the 50s and 60s
and you will see that far more than half of their "wonderful
inventions" are not with us today.

As Tim Wilson says "where the **** is my jet pack?"

Yeah, the car, the bike, the lawnmower, the electric light, the outboard
motor, the refrigerator, the air conditioner, the cotton gin, the steam
engine, the rifle, and on and on...... All too expensive and unreliable
when first brought out......
