But the most surprising, at least for me, was the price of the 1000 Watts solar energy package of SpinRay Energy : about 1000 dollars for plug-in solution including micro-inverters. When do we get such affordable systems available for consumers in Europe! 1 kilowatt is a good saving in everyday electricity consumption.

And Apple is growing solar. They are building huge solar power plants to power their own production - ZERO-CO2 emmissions!
