Bingo!

Cost per kilowatt hour, life expectancy, total cost of ownership, the real deal on numbers.

Worth paying attention to though.

Exactly. Lots of land multiplies in value if the cost of solar panels + battery storage over the life of the installation is cheaper than running 1/4 mile of transmission line.

Once this number becomes lower than the cost of running diesel generators, an explosion in use will occur.

Because of the insane costs of solar and wind power, I have friends in Australia who say it is cheaper for them to buy and use diesel generators for their irrigation systems than it is to use power from their electrical grid! (this is with the electrical grid already installed)
