If you want to see where solar panels have really taken off, you should pay a visit to the third world where the US government isn't subsidizing them.
- adventured 12y agoYou should check out California. It's one of the world's largest solar markets, and it has really taken off there.

- bsilvereagle 12y agoDemand for solar panels may be higher in some of the third world communities since it is one of the few sources of electricity; there aren't too many grids to connect to.
- crdoconnor 12y agoPoint being that it's one of the few power sources that ARE available to poor people, especially poor people who are not on the grid. It's pretty much just that and diesel generator, in fact.
