This is a absolutely delightful read. I have had a career in the renewable energy industry for just over 13 years and it is absolutely amazing how fast things are changing. For many of us this is a very thrilling period of history so let’s try to keep up the pace.

A 2kW system? Yikes …
A 2kW system? Yikes! That means ten modern 200+W solar panels could outproduce that entire roof. You’re going to need an awfully big roof to get any decent amount of power with this low-efficiency thinfilm.

Rhead, you can buy …
Rhead, you can buy it from solar suppliers, or solar integrator can install it for you. It may seem obvious, but you do need a standing seam metal roof, which most solar installers do not do. So you need both a metal roofing contractor to do a professional roof install and a solar integrator. That is unless you are a DIY type of person….

It is pricy: $9-12 per sq. foot for metal roof and $8-12 per W for solar.

Glad you took that …
Glad you took that the right way.

give it time, these will soon be cheap. Basically solar cell performance is following moore’s law. Ray Kurzweil talks about this quite a bit.
