How is (home-based) Solar Energy not free??? The real question is whether it shall remain so: Some of us are already paying for the water we pump out of our own land, (and put back via the drainfield in our septic system which recycles the water so that it does not even pollute the nearby well.) If Solar Energy were more efficient, "they" would probably be taxing it! All energy is or was free! (until someone took it away from the rest of us, imposed contrived shortages, and started charging based on their control of a commodity and not on the basis of resource extraction, processing and distribution cost plus a reasonable profit based on genuine competition between vendors. ZPE is no different, in principle than Solar. They are both potentially useful forms of electromagnetic radiation. (I'm working on it!)

Is it anything more than an efficient photocell…? From: MJ Interesting research!
