I think you've misunderstood my intent. I don't think HN is boring. I would, however, like to give the hordes I fear are visiting from Techcrunch an incentive to believe it's boring. Not having any means to actually fill the front page wi

It's a ridiculous metric. They're talking about the power at which the panel peaks in full sun. If you buy a panel that peaks at 200 W for $600, that's called 3 $/W. It's dumb. A better metric would be $/kWh. Some related calculations here:
