Any solar growth limits due to material availability? Someone told me once that his solar idea that didn't use silicon was the only hope for mass production to allow solar to cover the world, because large deposits of silicon were not available.
His device didn't have credibility so I am not saying his comment about the raw material was true, however in 2008 silicon was expensive compared to today so that sounds like a production issue that buyers thought wasn't going to be resolved. Way back in the 2008 stone age when we thought the AR coating solution would bring the world to NXT's doorstep, Natcore showed silicon costs in their presentations with a caption reading something like "High silicon prices are here to stay."
