I'm mostly gratified by what a "Dog bites man" story this is. Solar prices have been decreasing steadily for a long time so we should expect to see a story like this every few months until the adoption curve flattens out - which hopefully won't be for a while.
- throwaway5752 8y agoThe bit about storage becoming a routine part of bids was an interesting piece of information.
- blobbers 8y agoI was thinking the same thing. The gigafactory isn't mention in this, but could there be synergies with Tesla's (somewhat shady... pun intended) acquisition of SolarCity? These sorts of installs aren't exactly the same thing, but maybe SolarCity needs to pivot to from distributed consumer to large scale utility.

- mac01021 8y agoTVs don't cost 10k. And they don't cost half as much every 5 years.
- DenisM 8y agoOh yes, they do cost half as much in 5 years. I bough by 46" LCD 6 years ago for $1500, today you can buy a 55" for $600.
