Cheaper solar panels in future.
For years wind and solar power were derided as boondoggles.
And because the price will always be dropping there s really no point in waiting because there s no bottom price in sight.
This is the future.
A breakthrough in the production of solar cells will make the next generation of solar panels cheaper and safer and promises to accelerate the development of solar energy over the next decade.
Install your solar panels now especially because tax credits do expire.
This is part 1 of a series looking at the economic trends of new energy technologies.
They were too expensive the argument went to build without government handouts.
We think that the best priced solar panels are ones that will provide the highest payback over the long term.
Solar power has gotten dramatically cheaper in the past 10 years and is absolutely expected to continue to get cheaper.
Today renewable energy is so cheap that the handouts.
Meanwhile research on alternative designs for more efficient and less expensive solar cells will continue.
Part 2 looks at the dropping price and increasing reliability of wind power part 3 looks at how cheap energy storage can get pretty darn cheap.
Part 4 looks at how far renewables can go pretty darn far.
They now expect future solar prices to be cheaper than they expected in previous years.
To some degree they have.
No ugly solar panels no wasted land usage and this is but one example of the future for solar power.
Such as california and texas and certain solar panel brands are known for being the most efficient or the cheapest cost per watt sunpower is very efficient while canadian solar tends to be very cheap.
In the united states these cost decreases are anticipated to increase the solar power produced by at least 700 by 2050.
But their techno economic inputs to the 2019 world energy outlook still show solar costs that are implausibly high.
Part 5 looks at how cheap electric vehicles can get and how they ll disrupt oil.
Finding to best price on a solar system is surprisingly easy.
In fact it s expected to steadily drop in price through the year 2050.
