Viewing the solar industry (and all of its technologies) from the outside an observer would be confronted by two distinct views. View number one: THIS IS THE GREATEST TIME IN THE WORLD FOR SOLAR. GROWTH IS OFF OF THE CHARTS. THIS IS THE BEST YEAR YET. View number two: This is the worst time for manufacturers of photovoltaic technology. Enter at your own risk and consider failure the likely outcome.

Someone commented, "There is a lot here, some of it very good. But I take exception to #5."
I don't. Moore's Law is based on the fact that integrated circuit components are halved in size every two years without loss of functionality. Obviously, PV cannot do that; 1000W/m^2 is all we have to work with.
It's obvious the guy doesn't understand economics...
- Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.
That's the #1 requirement of being an economist.
