Solar panel down to $1/watt.

I can finally FEED the grid now... whenever I own a home... someday.

I think by the time I own my own home, it'll drop to a quarter/watt, even despite inflation.

Just imagine filling my roofs with solar panels, and putting up poles on my yard's fences and topping them with these as well. While atop fenceposts, they could also double as some sort of awnings.

Then I could make hundreds, or even thousands every month, just by selling back to the grid!

(I'll be sure to save electricity consumption with LED lights, and hopefully more-efficient appliances. Picture-frame-thin TV sets won't consume as much power as the plasma TVs of today do, right?)
