When solar hits $1/Watt I’ll jump all over it. Until then it’s yet another government sponsored waste of time.

If you men wholesale, then you better start lacing up your track shoes, because Nanosolar and First Solar are both now selling for slightly under $1/watt. Right now, Nanosolar is only selling into the municipal/small utility market (which is what their first plant is optimized to produce cells for, but they are building another plant that will produce cells optimized for home installation and use). I don't know if First Solar is producing to the home market, as I haven't followed them as closely as I have Nanosolar.
