First Solar?

I found a story at NewsTrust about claims that First Solar has reached price parity with convential electric power in a large scale installation. That story falls short on investigation, but it provides an interesting lead. The story pitched  here seems to be about smaller scale solar, and maybe subsidies will be part of the story. But the first producer to reach a price point where subsidies don't matter will start the real revolution.
