A comment on World passes 1TW of solar installations.
We are only 8 doublings away from 51.2TW/year.

With a 10% cost reduction after each doubling, price per TW should be (0.9)^6 = 43% of today.
Sounds encouraging to me.
If a doubling happens every 2 years, then by 2038, we will be installing 51.2TW/year.
Maybe too late to stop global warming?
