Let’s call it well under $0.50/watt. While I was not at SPI, many of you spoke about the declining module prices that were spreading around the trade show floor. Of course the prices have payment/timing contingencies, we are a long way from even the $1/watt not too many years ago. What is going to happen now that modules are a commodity competing on price with racking equipment. Maybe some magic potion will come up and show us all how Apple is getting a 3,000kWh per kW production factor. It continues to be true that reporters don’t understand megawatts from kilowatt-hours but I am fairly certain that Apple’s 50MW plant will not produce 151million kWhs.
