I also think we are on the threshold of that right now with nano solar cells, organic solar cells and other third generation innovations. In the meantime, the renewed federal tax credits and a green-friendly Obama administration will hopefully pick up the slack for those struggling states. The next few years will likely tell all...

Is there no way to make these systems economically viable without large rebates?
