Whilst everyone is focused on the distributional fairness of the #SL CEB price hikes - there is a huge (and growing) problem (for the CEB - Rooftop Solar (RTS): The capital cost of RTS in SL has fallen from $10/Watt in 2011, to $5/W in 2015, $2/W in 2019 (actual obtained quotes).

India currently installs RTS at $0.65-0.7/W. The panel itself is $.27/W (India or China price) - the balance is mounting racks, inverter, wiring and labour.
