We are issuing this quick analysis of the current solar photovoltaic industry and related businesses and we also want to announce some topics we are currently preparing analysis on for you to know what to expect soon from SolarByTheWatt.com (Solar By The Watt Dot Com).

There has been a huge interest to our analysis till now on cost per watt of components (panels, modules etc.) as well as of whole projects and the reflection of that on economic efficiency (return on investment) from solar photovoltaic projects. Such articles include: Price, Dollar Per Watt for Large Solar Photovoltaic Projects , Lowest Solar Panel Prices Per Watt 2009-02-24 and Economics of Solar Power. Our Lowest Solar Panel Prices Per Watt series will continue when we have a good update on the contenders in the top list. Notice that differently from many popular low price listings …

Similarly to the analysis we have done for solar we are putting the number together for the capacity needed of to replace coal, oil and natural gas with wind as sources for electricity.

We want to jump here directly to a graph comparing the different levels of electricity capacity currently generated from oil, coal, natural gas and the rest (nuclear, hydro etc) with the capacity wind power fields, farms need, the cost of investment needed and the land area used.
