Pros
Free fruit. Good food when Joe and Jimmy were cooking there. Unlimited interesting scientific challenges, and some very nice, very smart people to work with.
Cons
No one really understood what was going on, many of the production processes were black boxes, and so was our finished device. Unsustainable business model: making low efficiency, unreliable panels that weren't actually very low cost. Silicon PV works really well, we and the VCs should have realised that $400/kg poly Si was a temporary shortage.
