Is The Cost-Effective DIY Solar Panel Within Reach?

Well, Popular Mechanics is busting a lot of chops today for fans of alternative energy production. Similar situation to the wind turbine issue in the previous post.

I think with more advances in the solar voltaic cell technology in the next 4 - 6 years, things will improve.

Once concern that I have is about the life expectancy of the solar cells. If they are short (less than 10 years) this could be a show stopper.
