PV
isn't that affordable unless someone's willing to sell them with better terms.
I'm building a house soon (I hope). Adding 5-10k to the upfront costs is
unreasonable for me at this time, regardless of the payback. Give me
the collector and I'll pay you back with the money I would've spent on my power
bill. Anybody with a power bill knows what we spent. Many of us
went on a "budget plan" to offset the seasonal spikes, so we can easily go to a
PV guy and say here's $300/month I've already budgeted, I'll give it to you
until it's paid for. But the PV guys have to have deep pockets to start,
and I understand their reluctance.
And
thanks for helping me with some facts that I suspected but didn't have.
I'm on your side in this.

Frankly, I don't care who develops the technology, just get it done so I
can afford it. As a taxpayer, I'm also paying to analyze ketchup flow,
effect of sheep farts on the environment, and who knows what other inane pork
barrel projects.

Ray,
Solar PV IS afforable. It just depends on one's
priorities. And the reason why a lot of PV modules are going to Europe is that
in GErmany they are offering like $46 cents per KW generated by PV so like any
free market should work people go where the money is...........and for the
most pary that is NOT here in the US, but overseas. Remember billions of
people outside of the US have NO power at all. TO me it does not matter who
uses PV, for every PV module sold that is one less watt generated by the
fossil fuel industry and PV last a lifetime.
Later,
John
