Contradictions in the Solar Market

Mr. Castellano,

Look at the end uses of amorphous silicon thin film technology. It's building-integrated. Over half of the cost of PV power generation is in installation. Building-integrated PV replaces an existing (roof installation) cost with a slightly higher one, rather than a large incremental cost to install PV panels above an existing roof.

Your numbers may be accurate but you're not applying them correctly; ie. you're comparing apples to applesauce ;-).
