Looks like the time is on the horizon for affordable Solar Panels, 3 more years is actually not to bad of a time frame, and any go getter companies will probably try to jump that prediction and catch the first wave of affordable solar PV Panels, So if your in a rush to get your self some PV panels, you may want to wait a couple years before becoming part of the distributed network of power generation.
And if you live in Alberta, Some Utils are still holding back on allowing Grid connection. and if they do it's no walk in the park to get permission anyway. It will take some figuring out but going with at least a small set of batteries instead of a full grid tied system would be your smarter setup since if the grid goes black, you still got nothing, but having those batteries at least gives you some power to keep the food cold or lights on, of course having the lights on may just be the beacon in the darkness, and have all your neighbours on the way over, whether you want them or not.
