   But this isn't solar PV's main dilemma, it's the long payback and   
   non-dispatchable nature of something that is spuratic in output.  Until   
   they come up with grid-scale electrical storage that is super cheap to   
   implement, solar -- and wind -- are not going to come anywhere close to   
   being real solutions to transitioning away from fossil fuels.  Also,   
   currently, both are higher dependent on the existing fossil fuel based   
   infrastructure for their manufacture, deployment and maintenance.
