Solar energy has gradually begun dominating the news due to the innovations surrounding it. These innovations have lead to cheaper prices and in turn have caused solar energy to become more attractive to consumers. Our world needs to continue to transition into using solar energy in order to create a healthier and greener planet.

They’ve banded together to group purchase panels and other equipment and to contact for installation and brought their pre-subsidy, installed price down to $4.78 per watt.

(And that price was ‘last year’. Panels continue to drop in price.)

Take 30% off $4.78 and you are at $3.35/W. One should do really well when the state, local and utility company subsidies are subtracted. And 25 – 50 years of backward spinning meters might be a more realistic time frame. The old Arco panels of ~35 years ago are still pumping electricity with little decrease in output.
