A simplest comparison would be it's 10x less efficient and 20x cheaper. For residential might not be useful as you'd might want to maximise output.

For solar park or industrial rooftops (especially when building new) that could be good price advantage.

Sure in the First World that makes sense. But if you're looking ahead and pondering how to bring power to the millions (if not billions) who are not First Worldites then this is fascinating.

If it's easy to manufacture local to need that's also an additional perk.

Would you clarify for me? Do you mean 1/10th efficiency and 1/20th the cost?

Yes. I am not sure what's the problem, sir.

I asked for clarification, because 20 times cheaper than $10 is $200 less or $-190. One 20th of $10 is $.50.
