Abstract
In Chap. 1, it was noted that installed solar PV systems prices have now dropped to approximately $4 per W in the US. What does that mean in terms of cents per kWh and how does that compare with the costs of other ways of generating electricity? In Germany, the installed solar PV system price has dropped to approximately $2 per W. Why is there this difference? How close is the cost of solar electricity today to the costs of conventional fuel electric power sources and do conventional fuel sources have hidden unintended costs?
