it's killing me that i can't find the article on cnn because i read it last night, but i was reading that the efficiency and durability for solar panels are a lot worse than the producers are saying. Instead of a .5% loss in power generation a year its something closer to 4.5% per year. Also that people have to have them cleaned often because even something as small as a leaf kills about a square foot of power generation. They mention google and their panels and asking about them and it sounded like they had no idea really about how efficient they were.
the point of the article i think was that people have no idea really how much output they can get from these panels because all the 'data' collected from the producers of these things are all on panels 10 times the size anyone would have on their home and usually out in the open.
It makes me wonder if this solar panel insurgence is nothing more than some hype mixed with false promises...
