At $1 per Watt, the iTunes of Solar Energy Has Arrived

A Silicon Valley start-up called Nanosolar shipped its first solar panels — priced at $1 a watt. That’s the price at which solar energy gets cheaper than coal. According to one reader, paying the $3,000 initial investment is the biggest problem here. You will start breaking even in 2 1/2 years and then you will not have to pay any more electricity bills ever(or atleast until the panels bust which is in about 25 years).

Good read.
