A Sarnia solar farm built in 2010 cost about $300M for about 1/10 the generating capacity. Of course Enbridge got a long-term purchase contract at 43 cents, ouch!
I dunno, I might support mandatory roof photovoltaic solar for new BC homes, with a minimum generating capacity and guaranteed buy rate of ~ 15 cents. That would certainly spur some activity.
Or perhaps the Tesla roof panels could have the same type of program, if they prove as good as they are held. Every BC home gets a new roof every 15 to 30 years.
