In a previous thread on energy consumption, several comments were made about the efficiency of solar energy (i.e., the cost of producing it versus the energy it produces).

Being from a de-regulated state that has requirements to allow distributed generation, (and working for a Poco) I'm very interested in this and would appreciate any of those contributors that would like to post links to support their claims.

I'm not for or against at this point.... I'd just like to do a little research.
