I wasn't being negative. In fact, for a long time I have thought that, apart
from the research value, it is pointless trying to pursue ultra high
efficiency multi junction solar cells up to and beyond 30% when a much less
efficient cell, that can be deployed over much greater areas, would achieve
the same thing at a fraction of the cost. People have been rather hypnotised
by the prospect of a few square meters of blue/black panel creating their
"juice" and overlook the bigger, lower tech route towards getting the same
power...
