One of my big concerns is the general contractor's (GC) financial condition. I have seen many fly-by-night solar company's come and go over the past few years. Most of them have been in business for 5 years or less and have grown too quickly and have become over-leveraged.
“(from about $4.00/kWh to $2.80/kWH).”
...that’s per Wh, not kWh. But yea, the price has come down greatly.
You should try to lobby for the same 22 cents per kWh, but with production being in the California desert (as mentioned by others). You’d still be SAVING THE WORLD, which is the reason for this in the first place, plus you’d be doing it twice as fast. The idea being that you’d buy the power from one of the big plants out there for maybe 15 cents, and then get paid 22 cents. It actually makes more sense for everyone involved...but will never be allowed to happen.
