    Unless its a really remote location, its not worth it. kyocera make a lot of stuff, and the missus tells me there are already companies doing that in davao at least. its much much more expensive to do properly than a visit to maplin

    http://www.kyocerasolar.com/products/indproducts.html

    The solar-thermal plants (www.abengoasolar.com) are cheaper and seem to be where the money is going.

    I'm sure you know about city hall http://www.lda.gov.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.2493

    cost £540,000
    power 50,000kWh (estimated per year)

    say the cost of electicity is 10p /KWh (was 8.8p on my bill last quarter). That is £5000 worth of electricity. So it takes 108 years to repay for the project , plus maintanance, cleaning etc etc.. it just is not viable. Unless electricity goes up 10fold that is

    Here in Valencia we get a P600 a month subsidy from the local Geothermal Power Plant.

    Have been living here for 5 months now and not paid a penny (Centavo) for electricity.
