Without Hot Air and this blog are polar opposites. Without Hot Air uses costs from 2008 and assumes that they won't improve.

The costs of solar have reduced by 90% since 2008 so McKay's conclusions are horribly wrong.

OTOH Casey Handler is betting his company that the costs will improve from current values.

While the cost of the hardware has, many factors still apply such as efficiency and thusly the total area of solar required.

You're right though that the book is not up to date, and getting long in the tooth in some aspects.
