Something to keep in mind is the new generation of low-cost panels
is here.  Last December, a company named Nanosolar announced that it has
shipped its first low-cost panels ($1 per watt).  As more companies ramp
up production of printed solar panels (using techniques not unlike those
used by inkjet printers), the cost per watt will fall even further.
