“Considering tax benefits, final cost could be as little as $4000..”
So it works as long as you get tax welfare ? That’s not a solution. I watched wind power companies go bankrupt ten years ago when Congress took away their tax subsidies. No industry can survive if it is dependent on the whims of Congress.
Luckily, that won’t be necessary. anosolar is producing panels at $1 per watt, and their entire production capacity is booked through 2009. It costs them 30 cents per watt ot make those cells, so they have a decent profit margin and capacity will eventually catch up with demand. Complete solar PV systems at $2 per watt are only a few years away.
I didn’t say it would *only* work with tax benefits....
I said that considering tax benefits it would cost very little.
Big difference.
