Is There Value in Silicon Solar PV?

Hi,

I haven't been able to find an answer to this question, so I hoped that you might be able to help me.

I often see the price of solar energy listed in price per kilowatt hour. I don't understand the time frame used for this. If solar pays for itself 15 years down the road, then over 15 years, solar's price/kwh must be better than conventional energy (15-25 cents/kwh), right? So for what time frame is the price of solar used? One year? Five years?
