Those in the industry, what is the current state of solar power?

And where do you see it going in the next five years?
When will solar make sense without government subsidies?

Solar works as a supplement and in residential use, but in its current state, it will never be able to support a large portion of base load.
The massive solar farms require a ton of O&M and arent as eco friendly as some like to believe it is.

I've worked with a couple of large solar companies on the west coast that are ramping up solar lease and PPA sales efforts in a big way. They are trying to install as many systems as possible while subsidies exist and large banks can still take advantage of them.
