This is an important trend–solar may be more affordable sooner in countries with underdeveloped grids. Watch India’s solar program.

Not an exact answer to that but here’s another quote

“Spurred by persistent oversupply of photovoltaic modules, or by the economic crisis that has particularly affecting European countries, the price reduction of crystalline silicon modules in “spot” market (wholesale) reached between January and November 2011, 42% and 31% in China Germany. Also, the thin-film technology (TF) is showing falling prices, and reached € 0.78 / W p (Figure 21)”

The below parity cost of point of use solar combined with Brazil’s huge hydro electric capacity means it shoouldn’t be long before Brazil’s electricity sector is more or less entirely renewable. It also removes pressure to construct new dams.

Here’s a quote courtesy of the aforementioned translation.

“Considering, however, the trend in costs and prices of solar modules and electricity rates in some markets, it is estimated that parity pricing in the residential sector Europe can be achieved in the second half of this decade in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom”
