You mean no problems other than solar is not even close to economically
feasible? If it were that simple, you think utilities would still be
using nukes, oil, gas and coal instead?

There is a lot of research around the world on developing
better, cheaper solar cells. Part of the motivation for this
research is the demand. Increasing the demand helps. It
is in our best interest to move this process along.

More efficient cells, cheaper cells, flexible cells, organic
cells, etc. It is all being developed.


Although it's likely to remain the case for quite some
time that you're better off using solar energy without
converting it to electricity first, whenever you can
manage it.
