So a $45,000 5KW solar energy system produces about 119,246 KWH of electric over its lifespan meaning the average cost equals $0.38 per KWH.

As I pointed out in my post, that is old data (2007) ...that same solar system cost less than 1/2...read the post carefully and go back to it's history.

That's not really the cost improving, that's someone else paying part of the cost. From the perspective of "should I buy this" there may be little or no difference, but if its going to be broadly deployed the total cost doesn't go down because of subsidies or tax incentives.

There's little doubt that the cost is improving...FAST...that is of course unless you want to ignore facts and play word games...BTW, the cost of nuclear is not the odd 10c/W you pay today...someone/something else is paying to subsidize that as well...yet we have nuclear plants.
