No technology have everything priced it, just ask yourself what is going to happen when China (which has a near-monopoly on solar panels) stops to artificially subsidize them by their state to destroy the competition.
- dd36 8y agoIt should be subsidized until we have a carbon tax.
- realusername 8y agoWhat I meant is that it's currently subsidized both by the Chinese government and then by the EU country or US after for the installation.
- ajross 8y agoUh... prices will rise instantaneously by the amount of the subsidy, then gradually drop as competition is restored? You seem to be positing a Giant Solar Crash or something, and that doesn't seem likely. Chinese panels are maybe a bit under cost now, but these are just not expensive devices.
