Parent claimed only one gets funding, but that is wrong. Industry, capitalist companies work on the other stuff all the time. Parent is likely wrong about researchers not getting funding for that other stuff also, parent likely had trouble getting funding himself due to bad attitude and blames it on other factors.
- epolanski 3y agoI like how you decided to trash years of my life and experience and made up a scenario where I'm motivated by envy or failure (and even faulty of bad attitude) behind your keyboard because my experience doesn't fit your views. If you've been in this field, I'll gladly listen to your experience.

- jacquesm 3y agoSeconded. It's weird to see your clearly well motivated and insider perspective trashed like that. FWIW you've helped me understand some of why we keep seeing these efficiency publications that never make it to production. What is impressive is the degree to which cost has reduced as a result of economies of scale and I wonder what the bottom is there. Compared to the price of solar panels even 16 years ago (when I did my previous large installation) it is amazing to be able to get panels at todays' prices for what I perceive to be much better quality panels. But inverter quality seems to have gone down compared to what I was buying back then, though they too are cheaper.
