One odd thing I'm not seeing discussed frequently in threads about solar:
Where are the cheap panels and storage solutions?
I have lived in my bus for most of the past five years. I have a solar array on the roof (with lots of python glue[0]). And panel (and for that matter, battery) prices that I'm seeing today are no cheaper - and in some cases, a bit more expensive - than when I architected the system five years ago.
Is all the reporting about cheap solar somehow specific to grid-tied solutions?

- kevstev 6y agoWhere are you located? In the northeast US, I keep seeing panel prices come down each year, to the point where they are a fairly small portion of the system cost these days- labor now dominates the price.
- jMyles 6y agoI have flexible panels on the bus. Three years ago, I paid $110 for 100 watt flexible mono panels. I can't even find that deal now, let alone cheaper.
