In 2014 the cost per watt for Solar panels averages $3.86, in 2017 it was $3.17. That is a substantial drop in price and the drop in price has been accelerating in the last 12 months.

Without an efficient stove, wood is far dirtier than oil or coal. It is mostly banned in all the cities, though they are lax with fire places.
My area can go without sun for weeks in December. I have no south-facing roof for panels. With nat gas so economical, I would not even consider alternative fuels or heating technology since the house would never sell.
