you can do 10,000 watts now for 11,900 dollars. http://www.sunelec.com still has a couple of solar panels, a 110 and a 80 watt model that they are selling for 1.19 a watt. .98 cents a watt by the pallet.. prices over all seem to be going back up though. Last month there were several more models in the just under 1 dollar a watt range.
