And that's in a very sunny climate. The problem isn't in funding renewable energy research, it's that when it's done with taxpayer dollars by know nothing bureaucrats it tends to collesce around technologies that have already proven unfruitful like ethanol, solar, and wind. When the R&D hasn't gotten you good enough results yet it's too early to start spending the money on mass production. Keep the money focused on bettering the solar tech and stop spending it on building solar panels that you know have laughably small output and stupid tax credits for getting people to waste time and money to install them.
