Here is the first comment on that article:

"This is exactly what happens when governments try and push a
technology that is not ready for large scale manufacturing.
Fundamental research is still underway and is needed to be much
further along prior to the advent of mass production of efficient and
cheap solar panels. Will it be ready next week? Not likely. Will it be
ready for that in 10 years? Probably. It's a shame most politicians
are lawyers (at least in the U.S.) and not businessmen, engineers, or
scientists. Any of those three actually understand how this works!"


I could not have said it better myself. Solar has been propped up
unnaturally by government interference for years. They can never
succeed until they can succeed on their own.
