Solar Power Costs 50% Lower than Last Year : CleanTechnica
Thin-film solar is leading the way down to greater affordability. Higher finance costs have hurt recently, but those are expected to ease, while the equipment is likely to get cheaper.
Solar is the only real game in town to decisively solve the world’s energy problems– addressing renewability, pollution and climate change.
Almost everyone could now be heating their water with solar, but unfortunately in most states there is no retail infrastructure for providing it, and no tax abatement. Here in Michigan I called around, finally found someone, and was told there would be a two-year wait for installation and I’d get my money back typically over 6-8 years but that the state would not help out in any way. It shouldn’t be so hard.
I know, I know, things are different in California. Most of us do not live in California (or Washington State, which is also responsible).
