Solar is not there yet.
If we remove all of the subsidies Solar still costs more to make the panels than they can produce.

claims this will turn around by 2020. But I suspect they assume electric rates will not change by 2020.
Not likely as my Arizona rates just recently increased.
Agreed...and you need ideal conditions to get the maximum benefit..which rules out northern winters!
I do use solar at an off grid hunting cabin I have...but it is just to charge a couple of batteries to power a few LED lights and a water pump. Works great for limited use and low power needs but for larger needs, just not practical yet....unless you have an unlimited budget....
