Volume is key. Volume to push price of silicon panels down to have electricity reach grid parity levels. An intesting project (which I think has been ditched or put on hold) is/was DESERTEC. Install thousands of PV pannels in the Sahara dessert, and connect this to energy-hungry Europe thorugh a new HVDC grid connection.
