I saw that $1/watt in a government research paper about using PV for domestic hot water.
If someone pulls the government out of the solar business, it might lead to lower PV prices.
Just think about it. If you were selling a product for $5 bucks a pound,
and suddenly the government promised your customers a $3 refund per pound..
Wouldn't you start thinking about a price hike?? Get in on some of that 'free' cash??
Maybe having solar installed is over-priced, because of the gov rebates & tax breaks??
