I am confused by the show with the solar energy people talking about costs. If solar is $6.00 a watt and the power company is 12 cents a kilowatt, I still don't know enough to compare them. My impression is that the total cost of building a solar system is calculated into the cost of generating a watt of power divided by one user. The total cost of a power plant is calculated into the cost of generating a kilowatt (one thousand watts) divided by millions of users.
