I like the way science evolves and still, for years, nobody seems to look at the new inventions. This may be the case with solar, because almost weekly we discover news about useful inventions in the area of solar power. Instead, old and inefficient methods are still being commercialized and "promoted", at their high prices, like it's wanted to decrease their real usage in real life conditions, not promote it.
