The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents. But suppose your new car is up to current Chinese standards (~35 mpg). The calculation for rooftop solar is not quite as straightforward as multiplying the number of kilowatts by the number of hours of sun in a year.
