"In the United States, a solar system is installed every 4 minutes (360 solar systems per day), according to GTM Research. For such a small industry, that is massive growth. This means that, soon, the solar industry will no longer be small..."

They were all over our where we lived in farm country, lots out in feilds and on the roofs of homes. When we left a building was being converted into a new computer store and their entire roof had been built up on a slant to accommodate a large panel array. Interesting stuff.

Yet the comparatively small and cloudy Germany continues to obliterate the US in solar production. [cleantechnica.com]

"It was just reported the other day that Germany has broken its monthly solar power generation record yet again...that crushes the 0.764 TWh of electricity solar PV and solar thermal systems produced in the US in May 2013 (the latest month for which we have data) as well as the 0.522 TWh produced in the US in July 2012..."

I want to completely cover the roof of my dome house. I know the south sides are best, but here in southern CA. I get strong sun on all sides, so why not. Cost being the only issue. Panel efficiency is still low, but getting better (near 20% I think).
