    Yes, if the cost is low enough that the price per Kw is less, I think we would find more places to put it. On fences, on balconies, on rooftops of course, on awnings for parking spaces, on gazebos as a shade curtain, on pavilion rooftops… Yeah

      I think that’s a big if. With their (generally) shorter life expectancy they have to be half to a third of the cost of silicon panels to break even on a 20yr panel life. And that’s not including the labor to replace them.
