And the solar industry is poised to keep growing in the decades to come. In 2006, only about 30,000 homes had solar panels. Back then, it cost $9 per watt of power generated by solar panels. Today, it's just $3.79 per watt.The panels have increased in efficiency since then, too.nd the solar industry is poised to keep growing in the decades to come.

Continental Tire got its start in 1871 in Hanover, Germany, manufacturing and selling soft rubber products like hot water bottles, as well as bicycle and carriage tires.In 1904, the company patented the world's first car tire with a tread pattern.ontinental Tire got its start in 1871 in Hanover, Germany, manufacturing and selling soft rubber products like hot water bottles, as well as bicycle and carriage tires.
For tyres manufactured prior to the year 2000, three numbers instead of four indicate the date of manufacture. Also, during the early 1990âs, Continental added a triangle (â) to the end of the character string to distinguish a tyre built in the 1990âs from previous decades.yres left on the rear of a front wheel drive car are more likely to encounter this problem. Doing just 5,000 miles per year it could take up to ten years to wear the rear tyres out. Continental is unaware of any technical data that supports a specific tyre age for removal from service.
