You can find it for 47 cents now and then. From: Eric Kuhnke Sent: Monday, October 03, 2016 3:48 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Solar costs dropping
Apologies, I didn't mean it has dropped to $0.20/watt, just a theoretical... Even if and when it does, for the raw cost of assembled panels, there's still a lot of other costs. Here is a record low bid in $/kWh for grid-feeding massive scale solar (unsubsidized!) in a sunny desert: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-03/solar-developers-undercut-coal-with-another-record-set-in-dubai On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 2:46 PM, SmarterBroadband <li...@smarterbroadband.com> wrote: Where?

Storing many kWh in a reliable system that won't wear out after N cycles is the costly part. No matter what you do. Lead acid, aquion batteries, tesla powerwall type system, whatever.
