I am well aware of the problems. The retail price of PV panels has now dropped below $2/watt–which is fast approaching competitive with what I pay for power. I don’t know what subsidies (other than tax credits) are going into these, but I can believe that PV panels might actually make sense, and perhaps in the near future.

For me, peak electricity demand is to run my air conditioner in summer…which by wild coincidence is very nearly the same as when peak solar power supply happens.
