Yes, Virginia, there is $1 / watt PV
Yes, you can buy solar electric panels for $1 per watt, and that’s as
close to Santa Claus as you will find. They are shipping as we type.
Since they are high voltage, you will need a mppt controller to use
them. We use a Outback, but Morningstar has a new MPPT controller that
works well.

their efficiency. But cheap to manufactur.

That only matters if you are limited by space rather than cost.
