Excuse me, but what planet are you posting from? Your claim above suggests that a monocrystalline silicon solar panel that's of average size (120 by 54 cm), 6480 sq. cm., should cost $200 per square centimeter, or 1.3 million dollars. In fact, such a panel costs $168.50:

All your claims have been falsified using readily available evidence.

It wasn't MY claim, it was the poster above me.

I was saying his comparison was absurd. Obviously it doesn't cost that much.
