Good news in this article that world polysilicon production is expanding quickly. As noted in the article: "In recent years, solar power growth has been strangled by established polysilicon makers' unwillingness to expand capacity rapidly."
Very interesting report executive summary forecasting a drop in the cost of PV energy from $0.25/kWh to between $0.15-$0.10 /kWh by 2010.
This fits into news I'm hearing that the solar market is on the verge of major changes in part because of technologies and in part because of financing plans. Now if only they could figure out how to put solar on NYC apartments like the only I live in.
This is great news. As the cost of making solar cells comes down, the balance of system costs (framing, glass, mounting, wires, etc.) become increasingly important and efficiency gains effectively drive these down by reducing the amount needed for a given
