If you're an American and want to maximize the tax credit available for solar panels, there is a new time horizon.

Neat thing about this is, the tax credit phase out occurs around the time solar beats all other power supplies, on cost per kW/hr in the US. Based on PV cell production forecasts and the associated kW/hr cost trend lines. (the 30% rule)

"In case you missed it over the holiday, Congress passed a new federal budget, notably extending tax credits for solar, wind, and other renewable energy technologies. The extension differs from previous ones in two ways: it extends the credits for multiple years but also (as ILSR has been discussing since 2012) phases them out over time."
