L"its only the manufactured parts that cost money and then their upkeep." You answered your question, Ted. To use solar, there is more than just the solar cells, and they are a big chunk. But each individual cell only produces about 1.5 volts at a few milliamps. DC. Going from that to 110-220 volts AC at several amps is a non-trivial exercise. I guess I place to much faith in our science. I would think improving the output of solar cells would not be that hard to accomplish.
