Better technology and panel design

Lower manufacturing costs

Lower soft costs

Soft costs - the costs that are not directly associated with panels inverters, and other

Government investment and financial incentives

Economies of scale and better financing options

So let me guess your reason for lower prices are just subsidies?
Like oil companies? I can only guess . because you never stated a reason

Wow. Wind is cheaper than nuclear, to generate electricity? Maybe when talking about a house or two. Not when talking about 300 million people.

If what you said is true, why are developers still building homes and building with systems powered by natural gas and oil?

You got a Myopic view just because it’s not happening every place it’s Not happening ?

How long did it take the country to move from heating a house with wood to coal to oil to gas ... or electric or pellets or a little of both I call it progress slow and steady

"just because it’s not happening every place it’s Not happening ?"

Do you hear voices in your head? Are the voices telling you that I'm saying these things?

If green was cheaper, we'd all be doing it. It's not, so we aren't.

When we had our house built, we looked at a development that was all solar and geothermal. The houses had an enormous price tag, because that stuff is still very expensive.

"I call it progress slow and steady"

I agree 100%. Slow and steady. I AGREE WITH YOU. I don't want massive, sudden disruptions, that aren't based on good science. That's all I'm saying.
