Production is still small compared to other energy sources, but with that kind of growth rate that will change. The big Japanese electronics companies have been spending million every year to ramp up production. As the real price of solar cells goes down, they gradually become competitive in more and more niches. At one point they were so expensive they could only compete in the satellite market. Then prices dropped so they compete in really remote areas. Now you can't go down a highway without seeing a solar powered road construction sign. Even with all of the price drops, solar cells are still far to expensive to compete economically for the suburban roof market--about 3 to 4 times as expensive as utility power in my neck of the woods. |
