Hasn't been updated since 2016 in many sections

Factual numbers like cell efficiencies, prices per watt, or deployed world capacities, do not appear for any date after about 2012-2016 in various parts of the article. Some parts describe "forecasts" for 2017. Edits from someone who's conversant with 2019 efficiencies, market makeup, and prices (and can cite references for them) could really benefit this article.

It seems to me that there ought to be a WikiProject:Solar Power or a WikiProject:Solar Electricity or a WikiProject:Solar Energy so that these projects could be owned, coordinated, and managed to higher standards. MaynardClark (talk) 21:27, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Solar Cell" or "Photovoltaic"?

Sorry, is this article about "solar" cells or about photovoltaic cells/photovoltaic devices? Because they are not the same thing, and when I was last editing this article (re-writing it, really), my edits reflected this. If you don't know that they're not the same thing, or can't understand how they would be two different things, it seems likely that you should not be editing this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.205.122 (talk) 05:16, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

-== Current lede is gibberish ==
-I'm here to learn about the topic, so I am not sure how to fix it without introducing error but....if anyone is following this page, please at least try to fix the grammar. Also, how can it also be called a photovoltaic cell if it is a type of photovoltaic cell? Seem like one of those statements is partly wrong [[User:Elinruby|Elinruby]] ([[User talk:Elinruby|talk]]) <!--Template:Undated--><small class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 00:03, 26 January 2014 (UTC)</small>
