Not to defeat your point, but $0.42/watt is considered a bit too expensive nowadays (unless, it includes shipping).
The regular price for monocrystalline silicon solar panels is around $0.21/watt on Alibaba ([1]), not including shipping from China (which may vary, depends on the volume, destination and current rates).

Yes there's lots of cheap panels available, but they're also scary if you've seen enough lamination and encapsulation failures.
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agocool. $0.37 is retail cost in india on the open market but there are absolutely no guarantees about the quality. fly by night is the game. there is a scheme of the government who give subsidized solar water pumps at a installed price of $0.12/watt" for the solar panels, water pump, fixtures, wiring, instalation, labour, spares. i plan to "request" farmer friends to buy me 10-15Kwh worth of panels which i plan to install at my home
