Make getting off the grid, REALISTICALLY competitive with the grid

Solar City has done it. This is precisely the model required to rapidly ignite uptake of solar power. Theoretically, solar has always been a no-brainer; realistically, it's simply been too far out of reach to make a deep impact in the consumer residential mass market. The problem has always been the high initial startup cost, followed by prohibitive monthly costs for workin' folk.

However, if we workin' folk can make a reasonable one time investment, then immediately replace our utility bill with one that is equal or just a bit lower, NOW as everyday consumers, we can make that choice.

For global warming's sake, let's all hope that this New Financing For Solar catches on, quickly.
