Cheap Solar That We Cannot Take Advantage Of

Solar PV-generated energy may now cost just half the price of grid-based electricity.

Of course, there are many other considerations. Should these facilities be installed on a community or individual scale? How will current utilities react- with tax barriers or by welcoming it? Will the cost of installing battery storage exceed the potential savings of cheap solar-PV?
