On the argument that Solar Voltaic Unit Generators will 

 emerge at factory costs well under $500 per kilowatt of 

 capacity upon the market-pull of 1000 Megawatt 

 Interface Substation in the BPA System, consider an 

 energy purchase method, similar to the Independent 

 Power Producer approach for most 'wind farms", where a 

 PV module manuf ac turer/IPP, a Direct Service Industry, 

 or a Consumer Owned Utility can sell energy at a 

 million power-slots in a power marketing agency owned 

 and operated SVG Interface Substation 'farm', earning a 

 return on his factory cost.

This is based on a selling energy at the Fuel 

 Dependent Capacity Factor at the SVU6 interface 

 connector primary and on the nameplate capacity rating 

 of the SVUG. The present 'cost threshold' at BPA is
