Reading about Solar

I’ve been reading and doing some math on the feasibility of Solar electricity.

Turns out that costs have dropped significantly over the last few years due to the scale of production in China that actually is currently over-supplying the demand, and new manufacturing technology that is making it much cheaper.  You can find panels for sale in China for as little as $0.30/watt right now.

The ROI for solar is getting down to a reasonable timescale and is at a tipping point where it’s a worthwhile investment for many people.

It’s something that I want to do a lot more research on.  But over the next few years I expect we’ll all be seeing a significant increase in the number of houses with solar panels on them.
