1)The best efficient solar panel available in market is developed by Professor Martin Green, director of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics at the University of NSW. It has achieved 40.4 per cent "conversion efficiency" by using commercially available solar cells combined with a mirror and filters that reduce wasted energy. Source - Financial feasibility and other factors 2) Traditional solar energy production uses one solar cell, which limits the conversion of sunlight to electricity to around 33 percent. 1)Federal Incentives for solar energy use can be found on this page – source Corporate Deduction Corporate Depreciation Corporate Exemption Corporate Tax Credit Federal Grant Program Federal Loan Program Personal Exemption Personal Tax Credit 2) Florida state incentives can be found on this page – source Corporate Tax Credit Local Loan Program Local Rebate Program Other Incentive PACE Financing Property Tax Incentive Sales Tax Incentive
