Would you put solar cells on your roof? It could cost $24K to install which is a sizable investment. But at the same time youll be cutting your electricity bill dramatically, and saving 16 tons of CO2 per year. As the Washington Post article suggests, costs are dropping, but you still need a sizable house or warehouse to get it to work (our local ikea for example, has 5000 solar panels on its roof). The alternative is to wait a bit longer and see if efficiency of solar cells improves, which is what this Physics Today article from 2007 talks about scitation.aip.org/content/aip/magazine/physicstoday/article/60/3/10.1063/1.2718755
