Progress can be easily stunted by poor initial standards that get cemented into place. Solar panels are still a young technology and are still being proven out in a lot of ways. eg: bi-facial panels may be a game-changer in terms of how we think about mounting panels. As another response at the same level as yours suggested, poor initial quality panels created a bad name for themselves where they live. In their region, getting panels is not seen as a wise move despite the technology moving on significantly from the initial mass-experience. There are plenty of examples of superior technology being beaten out by popularity of an inferior technology. Even our current electric grids (which are at capacity and having trouble globally dealing with solar capacity) are an example of this. It seems as though you are willing to ignore those things given your selective hindsight and wish of even more pervasive solar photovoltaic technology. You can't change the past, but you can learn from it to try and make better decisions for the future.

There are plenty of examples of superior technology being beaten out by popularity of an inferior technology. This is not the same as a luxury being commoditization and has nothing to do with it. It is a diversion by pretending you said something different initially. Even our current electric grids (which are at capacity and having trouble globally dealing with solar capacity) Says who? Your evidence of nothing? For starters rooftop solar means less electricity going over the grid to a house as well as less electricity used for air conditioning due to shading the roof. Worldwide solar is a small percentage of electricity, so who is "our" when you say "our electrical grids are at capacity" and why would electricity from solar have anything to do with it?

    What is false? Where is any evidence for anything you've said? All you've done is make claims and be patronizing but you never backed up a single thing you said in any post you made.
