Tony, I was thinking that too - didn't think solar cells had broken even near the $1/w level (yet).

sorry, the actual cost is around .6 to .7 dollars per kilowatt hour. not per kilowatt

for my system, I get 3000 kilowatt hours times 15 years at say ten cents a kilowatt hour. thats 300 bucks a year for 15 years or 4500 dollars of electricity over the lifetime of the system. I pay 28,000 for the system without rebate. so I pay 28000 for 4500 dollars of electricity

its at least 3 to 5 times more expensive than gas turbine power.

market wise, its frightening, because the cost of oil and gas will go up to match equivalent cost of other modalities

is my math wrong
