Innoc,
I said solar power, not solar panels, "solar" has come a long way. That 3 dollar solar landscape light at Wal-Mart is proof.  However the panels have become more efficient over the years by concentrating light onto the photovoltaic cells. First 30 percent conversion in the 90s and now 40 percent. It is interesting that with all of Obamas talk on solar I find this snippit of the DOE website, lol?

That is an interesting snippet. 40% efficiency in solar conversion is news to me. Panels run from 23 to 28 %. I think that 40% initiative is only an initiative and has yet to bear fruit. As to the comment on solar garden lights I have two words for you... "LED bulbs"!
