One problem with rooftop solar, particularly when retrofitted, is every installation is unique making mass production cost reduction techniques less effective. I just don't see rooftop solar as anything other than an expensive diversion.<br /><br />As for offshore wind, it is attractive in that there are some good locations near population centers. But I think the much greater construction and maintenance costs mean it is not competitive yet.James B.

Still, I think solar panels are the most interesting in the sense that they seem to be 'evolving efficiency' over time. There is indeed a lot of venture capital and faith invested in the tech, but we already have the tech to build offshore wind farms!Phil | Best Air Conditioner Reviewshttp://www.best-air-conditioner-reviews.comnoreply@blogger.com
