Eric, > Would be nice to do the math.

Estimates vary widely, but my rule of thumb is that for the consumer, solar power pays for itself in 15 years. That includes the tax breaks, of course, so if you don't count those, maybe 20-25 years.

I don't know what the cost numbers are for Intel specifically.
