$1/watt = $1,000/KW. FF is $50-$60/KW. Thats 16-20 times cheaper.

1$/watt is now. What will it be in 10 years?
And guess who will pocket the difference between between $1,000/KW and $50-$60/KW?
Grid electricity will not cost as much as it takes to produce it, but how much you can pay for it.
So its likely that individual generation will be cheaper in long term.
I believe it will stay like it is now – buy a system and it will repay itself in 10-20 years, but instead of 10k $ it might cost 1k$.

Btw the figure $50-$60 is still remaining to be seen.
