Puts too much power in the hands of the customer to control and manage their fate. Utility company can’t have that!
Everyone would love to bust the 25% limit on PV panels. The cost-per-watt curve bends up steeply there. NASA can live on the other side of that curve, but I can’t afford to.
Perovskite panels (currently) require Fresnel lenses to work properly, and then they collect more than 30% of the energy for a given area. That’s a big improvement but it doubles the cost of the panel (or more, I think).
ok, but even the subcontractors were unaware of these additional requirements. I believe it is just an evolving process and the utilities are minimizing expenses and making “system” improvements to streamline operations.
aok, i did not know. makes sense too.
