Another large scale solar project.

Can I ask how this will help drive down the overall price of Solar? Specifically, does this help drive down costs for others or is it a "feel good" project that simply keeps a company in business? I'd rather see thousands or hundreds of thousands of units integrated into Ford cars that do like Toyota does, keep the interior cool on hot days and/or trickle some heat in on cold days. That's building a market, not a huge one-shot feel good deal.

See the problem, 36 year rate of return means it's a feel good deal whereas if the solar company gets to, over time, refine and improve hundreds of thousands of smaller "car kits", we get improvement.
