consider the cost of pv panels vs $1/peak watt windmills...
pv price adjective good pv application
$3.00+/peak watt hideously expensive spacecraft, calcs, roadside phones
2.00 awfully expensive off-grid homes, hybrid panels
1.50 somewhat expensive net-metered homes
1.20 rather expensive solar shingles(?)
1.10 a little bit expensive wind replacement
with equivalent wind and pv resources, one might decide to use
pvs vs windmills below the "somewhat" level, given the tower
and maintenance requirements for windmills.
