			** '''claim 1''': Investment in solar panels generally pays off after only a few years, after which the power is essentially free.
			** '''claim 2''': The cost of solar panels is dropping rapidly due to the accelerating pace of research.

			**** (just a sample quote) "...recent advances in identifying potential organic materials for printable photovoltaic cells for thin film applications are promising to make that technology especially cost-effective, even while boosting its efficiency."

			** '''claim 2''': The most common type of storage (rechargeable) battery is lead-acid, which is made of lead, sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen -- all common materials. (I'm leading off lithium-ion because lack of time, and it's true that lead-acid is hugely popular because it's so cheap.)

			*** However, they are definitely recyclable: http://www.lead-battery-recycling.com/lead-battery-recycling.html "All the components of the modern lead acid battery are recyclable and from an Industry perspective lead-acid batteries are an environmental success story because in the United States just over 96% is recovered and in most of the G7 nations upwards of 95% is recycled."
