For net energy, a quarter per peak pv watt is needed.
Even then, it would be many years after a quarter per watt for actual breakeven, owing to all the previously lost energy.
Huh? I usually agree with Don on these things, but here he seems to be confusing energy break even with economic break even. I
a perfect world they might be comparable, but I doubt if that is true in the real world.

I think what he wants to say is that energy break even is many years down the road,
possibly decades. And fixing and maintaining it might kill the small net energy surplus.
And before we get to break even we might have new, much better technology.

Who knows, but for a $1.98 a watt it's a good deal if you want to give it a go. I know I could run my home office off a couple of
panels (laptop, printer etc.)Even having a couple would keep the lights on
in an emergency.
Especially at night.... factor in batteries and invertors and its way more
than 1.98.
