The advancement of technology and the increase in the cost of conventional energies make photovoltaics a more competitive energy source. As technology becomes increasingly accessible and the price of the solar kilowatt-hour keeps falling, the use of photovoltaic will soon be universal.
Electricity distribution is bound to evolve. From centralized systems to a multitude of local production sites, the change is happening quickly.
"Smart grids" are computer controlled to optimize distribution between producers and consumers. In this new context, photovoltaics takes a preponderant place allowing everyone to produce and to sell their own electricity.
