issues regarding australia's small reliance on solar energy?

hi i was wondering whether somebody cud outline the, Local, National and Global disadvantages and issues of Australia not being more reliant and using more solar energy (In this case, solar panels, solar farms)

Easy ten points for a decent answer guys!!!

cheers

Conversion of solar to electricity remains only marginally cost effective, and requires use of storage batteries, with all their associated cost and maintanence. Use of solar to heat water is viable, but storage of the hot water requires appropriate tanks, and you still may need to pump the water to site of use. We are perhaps ten years away from commercial solar farms. The biggest problem there is that solar is converted into DC power, which is very hard to transport over distances. Converting it to AC has about a 40% efficiency, making it unrealistic for widespread use and transmission over long distances.
Having said all this, solar may be very useful for specific applications, such as a power source for a farmstead or station house, for a limited purpose motor (like on a bore) or for some lighting applications, and in remote locations, may actually be cost effective, even at todays costs.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Polymer solar cells are a type of flexible solar cell. They can come in many forms including: organic solar cell (also called plastic solar cell), or organic chemistry photovoltaic cell that produce electricity from sunlight using polymers. There are also other types of more stable thinfilm semiconductors that can be deposited on different types of polymers to create solar cells. This technology is relatively new, being actively researched by universities, national laboratories and several companies around the world.

This is a collection of 38 articles and essays by 31 different scientists on various aspects of research into Solar Energy. It sets forth areas where future research is likely to lead to scientific breakthroughs. While the work may seem dated, it is really not, because additional research into these same areas is still needed.The authors include C. G. Abbot, Lawrence B. Anderson, Werner A. Baum, L. M. K. Boelter, H. J. Bowlden, F. A. Brooks, William M. Conn, Farrington Daniels, E. J. Drake, John A. Duffie, J. Farber, A. W. Fisher, Jr., Paul A. Flinn, M. L. Ghai, Lawrence J. Heidt, Jeremiah T.
