Solar eclipsed?
Article Abstract:
Solar energy has been hailed by politicians and businessmen alike as the ideal source of alternative energy. Unfortunately, such pronouncements have not borne fruit in terms of actual use of the energy source for electric power generation. The need for a significant amount of sunshine which is not obtainable in most parts of the country and big space have constrained the building of facilities. Nevertheless, with the cost of photovoltaic power, a chief element of solar energy, going down from $30 to 30 cents per kilowatt hour, energy specialists foresee the maturing of solar building technology and its widespread use in commercial and residential edifices.
