Without even going through their assessment (Which I will do after typing): Solar will continue to grow for two very simple reasons: (1) The technology always has application on a micro scale irrespective of grid-scale or public incentives & (2) Cost reductions have delivered for 3 decades more or less consistently and improvements, once attained are not lost. Bottom line: There is NOTHING to suggest cost reductions in the hardware will not continue. Suddenly, National Solar is announcing $3.5 per watt installations that sound very “Germanesesque.” in metrics. Yes hardware gradually bumps up against an asymptotic installation. So? The competition, just gets more expensive and volatile over time. kyle sager helioshirt.com
