We can also go for Fiber optics solar energy harvester(http://mytheoriesarehere.blogspot.com/2011/02/light-energysolar-harvesting-using.html) and some other methods(http://mytheoriesarehere.blogspot.com/2011/05/making-50-watt-bulb-from-2-liter-bottle.html) which are low cost with minimized maintenance and more.....

Solar water heating should be catching on faster in the U.S. Installers are getting better about providing reasonable prices. Local incentives, in Austin, for example pay for nearly 40% of the system, coupled with the Federal tax credit, 60% of the system is paid for. Payback time is then reduced to 2-3 years.

A solar cell currently captures only about 37% of the potential energy that could be collected. A new anti-reflective coating is in testing though that has promises of nearly 70-80% efficiency. We should push to do this first before we try to make homeowners invest in them. Its to early to try such a bill.

I'm sick of corporations or individuals holding us at gunpoint with the ownership of every way to make money, then turning around and telling us to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps". Libertarian morons then parrot this garbage with the hilarious "let market forces fix the problem" when the market is artificially controlled by said corporations and individuals. This is a step in the right direction. Screw susbsidies, nationalize every natural resource.

Oil companies are heavily subsidized. Photovoltaics need a similar subsidy, just to compete. However, governments have the right and responsibility to direct the marketplace toward the greater good of their constituents (individuals, in the case of Liberal Democracy, corporations in the case of Fascism), and should consider the effect, for example, of a 20-foot rise in sea level on all of our coastline cities, a possible result of continuing to burn fossil fuels. If the results are dire enough, government SHOULD meddle, regardless of the effect on some sacred cow corporation's bottom line. After all, some OTHER sacred cow corporation may have factories in the flooding lowlands... To BrianIdaho: I agree with you. Oil companies are heavily subsidized.
