> 1000kwh for a 1kw system over a year

That will net you a whole $100 a year, probably less in most places

Selling back to the grid, maybe. But if displacing your own use, 10p/kwh is a pipe dream in the UK, more like 25p+.

And my point is more that in that example price/kwh, the "best" location only returns $150 or so for that same system.

Sure, worth keeping in mind for payback calculations, but not really a "category change" - power prices vary more than that proportion between the countries involved. And certainly not the whole multiples a pure insolation chart might imply.
