   Certainly, but we all need to realize that adding Solar in their house is an purchase that could raise the future valuation of their house if / when they choose to sell. With the environment the way it is going we are unable to overlook any solution that offers zero cost electricity at no cost to both the buyer and more notably the environment!

   Then why does it need subsidies? If solar was a good deal it wldoun't need tax subsidies to make it affordable. You also need to take 2 other things into consideration1) Financing cost if you finance2) If you pay in full up front, what return could you have gotten on that money had you invested it insteadI don't know about California, but we do get hail occasionally and it seems to me that hail can damage the panels. I think a breakthrough is coming though.

   Great article! If we can bring down the manufacturing cost of flexible solar panels there is unlimited potential for applications, use and of course; business
   We are interested in marketing thes products.
