Glad to see they are still advancing this tech... Much like the H3 is better to produce than the Prius, I wonder what the true impact to the environment solar panels are. They have been around so long I'm sure that has been discussed though.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

This is great, I would still like to see solar power be commercially available for residences.

Speaking of solar panels. In Dubai, they built a skyscrapper that produces 100% of its own energy using a huge wind turbine on top and a floating island of solar panels.
