Price per Watt of installed PV is what drives adoption so with efficiency as one term in there (Wattage output is a direct result of efficiency) the remaining ones (lifespan, efficiency over lifespan and production costs / unit area of panel) are still problematic enough to slow down wholesale adoption. To some extent this is right now offset by subsidies, you'll know that it has arrived when the subsidies are stopped and adoption still increases.
