I imagine TheSockStealer was wondering about India to Iran ping time through Google's private network (the one in the diagram upthread), which doesn't appear have a connection from Chennai to Amsterdam.
The packets in the trace you posted were presumably routed by someone besides Google. Or did you run that traceroute from inside GCP?
Or I could be misunderstanding the diagram and maybe Google has some connections that aren't shown. I don't really get what the ">100" in "edge points of presence >100" means in the legend.
Wow,Solar prices in the USA are pretty high. I live in India where solar is under 1.2USD/watt installed. This is for a good module and very good inverter.
I have seen quotations for under a dollar a watt using cheaper components
If labor was free, and you didn't need a permit or certified equipment to attach to the roof and utility lines, and there were no taxes, then that's close to what you would pay. $0.60 cells and
$0.40 string inverter $0.20 cheap brackets.
For very large commercial/utility installations it falls close to that ($1.40 including land and transformers).
