    Really? That would mean solar panels selling for $0.45 per Watt. Hard to imagine. :roll:

    I saw that as eye candy... as in the middle of the article it states "prices of commercial systems could plummet by more than 40% by 2015, and an additional 30% by 2020 " which seemed more realistic or the writer is confusing panels, arrays and systems...:confused:

    Mabe the price of the cells may drop(but it wont be much) but the price of the aluminium and the glass will most likely rise so will cost of transportation. And inflation will increrase to cost of everything..

    The RSS feed always has some BS headline that hypes up and poorly reflects the actual article. I've about given up reading them as it is almost always a disappointment.

    The RSS feeds can be a bit over the top when it comes to hype, as the articles come from many different sources...
