My vote is also for an SPS demonstration unit at L1.
the next five to ten years.
Cost of new, efficient photovoltaics may drop to about the cost of LEDs.

GOOGLE for "Full Spectrum Solar Cell" and enjoy the reading.
Very promising technology. Looks rather important to SPS.
CONJECTURE: It could be even more important to Earth-based deployment of
photovoltaics. This might attract much available investment money into
broader implementation of community and residential solar power.
