Make solar panels inexpensive to manufacture - where technology should go

Speaking about putting excess cash to good use ? Why not be like Google and do it with a worthy cause ? Errr...well...I know, not many companies have excess cash (like Google) nowadays. But I would still like to highlight the solar energy project in Google as a pursuit and interest in alternative energy and technology impact.















For example, for the last 24 hours today, 3398 KW-hours of energy were generated and this (based on estimation) is equivalent to 2000 + dishwasher cycles.

Solar panels are still relatively expensive to manufacture, thus not readily adopted by the masses. MNCs taking a lead role in proving solar energy, may encourage more companies to think of creative ways to use solar energy in future.
