art..."photovoltaic" will never become practical for large scale power generation.... why? storage required along with conversion equipment...not to mention the low voltage that it generates....makes it not viable as a transmittable power source... generation required above 4.16kv, be it steam,water or gas driven, then stepped up to transmission lines in the 500kv range...longer the distance, higher the transmission voltage... photovoltaic ample to feed a grid at 120/240 volts....and current storage battery technology and inverters don't meet the needs
