The concept of grid parity helps in understanding the finances involved with solar installations and their associated rebates, grants, incentives and stimulus packages. Grid parity is the point at which photovoltaic electricity is equal to or cheaper than grid power. General Electric’s Chief Engineer thinks we will see grid parity without subsidies in sunny parts of the U.S. by around 2015. Some say it will happen earlier. Anyway, the goal is to encourage early adopters and over time it will drive down costs so there won't need to be any incentives. The cost of solar was falling 6-7 % annually but in 2009 it fell by 25-30% due to the global economic slowdown. The economic stimulus and block grants have pumped up the current bonuses for commercial and residential customers alike. There has never been a better time to invest since the rate of return is so attractive in comparison to other investments and it is secure and physical. You can count on energy rates going up and the sun too, both of which add to your Return on Investment.
