Silicon manufacturing cost should be $20 to $25/Kg. The cell technology will have more room to improve conversion efficiency for reducing cost. When the cell technolgy become more mature, solar component cost can reach grid parity to conventional electricity. According to PVinsights, http://www.pvinsights.com , solar panel price is still around $1.9 to $2.1 and still have some difference from conventional electricity.
