You could use 0.00000001% efficient Solar Panels and just put up more of them! Sure you have to get the technology as economical as feasible 1st. This isn't a put-as-many-panels-on-your-roof-as-you-can-fit problem! If you can mass produce 5% efficient panels for 1/4 the price of 10% efficient panels then that's what you would use at a Power/H2 plant. Herc
