cameras ppa says it's in the name of safety but some people say it will just create problems. cabs on friday night in old city like the idea of cameras tagging along for the ride. >> i don't think it's a horrible thing. i think that there's been attacks on cab drivers. there's been attacks on other people. >> others not so much. >> what if i'm like with someone i want to be with in private and we're expressing ourselves and there's a camera recording everything? >> reporter: either way the philadelphia parking authority which regulates taxis in the city will soon require every single cab to have a security camera inside. the video looking like this as seen on the verified surveillance website one of two companies to supply thousands of cameras to philly cabs. >> because if there's a camera in cab, a predator or a criminal will be less like physical commit a crime against that cab driver or against someone in that cab. >> reporter: executive director of the ppa says the video will connect to the same system that track your fair and location. and the cost picked up by the medall

so in some countries, every single project has its own ppa. it isn't well-organized at all. i think if some of the other african countries took the work that has been invested into nigeria things would be a lot better and easier to work. i think not only is it important that american companies partner with african companies but we are a perfect example, it worked well, we invested in a power plant and helped produce the megawatts. i think it is essential and you have to find the right partners in africa. and there are many more people like haste holdings out there who are keen to do business with companies from america. my recommendation is anyone going to africa to do business first focus on finding the right local partner. >> thank you both. i want to check from the audience if we have a question you would like to go to the gentlemen. i see none and i will go back to the panel and let you have your last words. david? >> first, i would say america is probably behind other parts of the world in investing in africa. there maybe historic or other reasons why american companies

you spend months negotiating the different ppas. so in some countries every project has it's own different cpa. it's not well organized i think if some of the other african countries took work invested into nigeria, things would be better and easier to work. i think not only is it important americans partner with african countries our partnership has been a fantastic example, worked really well. and i don't think, i think it's essential. you've just got to find the right partners in africa. there are many more people. and they're keen to do business with any of these so anyone going into africa to do business concentrates on finding the right local market. >> to check from the audience, those anyway. let's go back to my panel. >> two things. first i would say that america is probably behind the other parts of the world in investing in africa. there may be other reasons why american companies have not moved to africa. but i don't think it's too late too catch up. american companies need to spend more time and secondly, this is a very

. >> the ppa has removed all the violations from your name. >> i can't believe they did that.ou guys are great! of. >> reporter: diane told me her refrigerator kept breaking down. i helped her get a refund for a new one. i see something new in your kitchen. can i see it? >> brand new. >> reporter: it works. >> it works. >> reporter: the troubleshooters came to the rescue of more than two dozen newlywed couples, they were having trouble getting their wedding videos from a individual -- videographer who was going out of business. they got the raw footage from the videographer. >> thank you so much. you're happy? >> i'm absolutely happy. >> reporter: and we have an all new update on this couple who asked for help getting their hardwood floors repaired. >> just before -- this was a big sore spot. >> reporter: that is fixed. >> i thank you for getting involved, because i was at my wits end. it looks better now, than it did before. so i'm so grateful for that. i'm very grateful for that. >> we we would l we would love to help you, if you need the "action news" trouble shooters you c

one thing to note here is if you are the developer who owns that project and signs that ppa, you are going to benefit from the 30% investment tax credit. that allows you to sign lower and still earn your rate of return. this is not an unsubsidized analys analysis. now looking forward, in our view there's a lot of great opportunity for this market and prices are going to continue to decline and this is going to continue to play a much larger role in the overall energy ecosystem. so 2010 about $4.64 was the global average that we were tracking per residential cap access per watt of solar. we have seen that drop down in 2013, 2014 to $2.62. this is a global number. it's more expensive in california, as i mentioned before, but we think prices are going to continue to get reduced as costs get squeezed out in part by the technology, but also from the nontechnology costs, which elaine can talk about as well. in terms of our long-range view, we have our long-term perspective. many people do that a long time away. i put that out there as the caveat. but it will continue to see strong growth.

characterize what the risk for that looks like and to develop standardized templates for contracts, for ppas, for leases to start to expand the baseline information about what solar deployment characteristics look look. that way we can start to have better products out there. again, both in the forms of whether third-party finance, loans, insurance projects, operation and maintenance products. again, they have worked together to try toing agate a lot of information and best practices so the finance community can better understand what a solar product really looks like. i think to a certain extent, you know, they can look at it and say, well, you know, we don't know how risky this is so we're going to charge a high interest rate. that can be very difficult. or they can say we're not interested, it's too complicated. this is really an area where i think we have tried to play an important role in increasing market transparency and help them understand what it looks li like in the field and feel more comfortable getting involved from a financial perspective. hopefully that will benefit businesse
