Your assumption is that solar cells can eventually be made at $2 per square foot. If true, that would mean I can buy a solar panel for my own roof for just under $1,000, not including the cost of installation. Well, my math was wrong. I think it will be eventually possible to buy solar technology cheap, but maybe not that cheap....probably not unlikely that you will for $10/ft^2 or five times your estimate. The typical measurement is expressed in $/W...I have quotes for our new home at ~$6/W. In Ca, the state rebates a reasonable portion of the investment. Installation cost is small. Unfortunately I am not in Ca and cheney's "energy task force" policies have led to a puny $2000 max fed rebate. gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov Al
