    If this is legit, that's some crazy megawattage production. Plus the plant won't be in china or mexico.

    Saw this all over the SF Bay Area local news last week.
    They are projecting the technology to be ready in about 3 years with the new production plant. They quoted the cost is 10% of today's solar production cost.

    However, since it is going to be produced in the SF Bay Area... I bet we would not get close to the 10% cost of Retail. Say at best, 50% retail cost... it would still be very expensive (cheaper, yes). And being a Cali resident, 3 years done the line means a lot less in Governators rebate program.

    I like it, but I am giving one of those... lets wait and see.
