A myth persists that solar power is too pricey. The reality is that in many states _ such as California, New York and Hawaii – solar is already cheaper than utility power on a dollar per kilowatt-hour basis. Not surprisingly, by far the biggest factor in the cost of electricity generated by solar is the installation costs for a system.

We can cut these prices in half everywhere simply by eliminating the excessive paperwork it takes to install a photovoltaic or solar thermal system.
