My own numbers over 5 years show that, without any federal, state tax credits or incentives, my small scale PV solar produces a higher ROI than many other investments. Technology has changed and will continue to change along with the economics.

I am happy to pay to support the electrical grid infrastructure that my excellent REC provides and I use. If utility accounting practices do not properly assign fixed and variable costs that is something that must be addressed. The fact that some utilities have only an $8./mo "facilities" or meter charge and hide many fixed costs in the kwhr charge is an accounting problem. This accounting problem also distorts the facts.

Properly assigning and billing costs is not a solar panel nor LED light bulb problem but an accounting problem.

I can't speak to the issues of the Nevada project. That looks like a whole different economic and technological ball game from putting a few solar panels on a shed roof or in a pasture.
