Maybe they down vote because they think I don't like the research or think it's pointless (far from it). The only thing I dislike is the reporting about it, and even there mostly the clickbaity headlines intentionally misrepresenting the facts. It's clearly intentional, because when reading the articles it usually becomes quite clear that the author was well aware.

I can also imagine that articles like that stop at least a couple of people here and there from adopting solar for their home, cause they read what they think means that there's about to be a 10% efficiency increase for panels. Clearly that's a time to wait, not to buy! The number is people that only read the headline is probably uncomfortable high, but I got no clue what the actual percentage is, or if those that don't click through take the headline at face value...
