Very much research is done on organic solar cells. The cost data you mentioned are all for single crystal silicon solar cells which indeed is very expensive.
Organic solar cells still have their problems, and are not as efficient as the silicon ones but they cost far less. And when you think about it (from a physical chemical point) possibilities are endless. We absolutely need to start a working solar power industry and research funding scheme, it might take a few years but I am confident we will be able to get a nice part of our energy from solar power.
