- ars 18y agoThey've been saying that since the 1980's. When the price of oil goes up everyone expects solar to finally be cheaper - except that when the price of oil (AKA energy) goes up the manufacturing price for solar cells goes up to.
- dan_the_welder 18y agoWell, there have been a couple of major gains in manufacturing efficiency and they have chosen not to lower their prices. I am guessing as long as they have high demand they see no need to drop the price. String ribbon technology and amorphous thin film (flex panels) are a lot cheaper to make... at least they claimed so earlier on.
