The sourced article from bloomberg only states that two contracts in 2016 have pledged to produce solar electrcity at those prices, well one at 64 and the other at 29.10. They haven't actually done it yet. While it is great news that solar is finally getting competive I always like to wait and see what actually happens

What usually happens to technology?  It gets cheaper and especially if more are being produced.  There shouldn't be any excuse not to have solar on all our rooftops through solar roof shingles or other means in a decade or so.  This would cut the demand for power plants to power our buildings.  It just needs to get a little more down in price where it is barely more expensive than traditional shingles.
