In my opinion, photovoltaics haven't crawled up Moore's Law to the point where they make sense for individual investment. SolarCity is arbitraging renewable energy law to externalize the cost of solar ownership to the government which, really, is worth doing.

The grid's a mess and has been. HVDC may clean up some of it but local power production is a better solution. Frankly, energy efficiency is the solution.
