horseshite. The BEST experimental solar cells are barely 20% efficient.

Panasonic and SunPower both have panels over 20% efficiency. Many commercial jobs just use the same panels as residential so why would the efficiency be half that? But no, there is no such thing as a 93% efficient solar panel, but I don't think that's what he meant as he states in his next post. He meant 93% of the energy is provided by solar, but you went back to efficiency. Read first, then type your angry post with your oily fingers

Imagine if solar panels get 4x more efficient than they are now.

You could have them on top of every roof, with arrays in many neighborhoods, and then local clusters every few miles or so. On top of that you'd have big solar plants for regional production.

Like mentioned earlier, the plastic and rubber demanded would still be an issue.

I really hope this doesn't happen.

With the exponential growth of solar energy, the sun will be depleted faster.
I think everyone will be begging for fossil fuels when a red giant sun consumes the earth, then turns into a black hole and destroys the universe because we used up all its energy for our iPhones.
