Solar prices are still dropping, but not fast enough for me to actually afford it.
I’d love to have a combo wind/solar since I’m in a pretty good spot for it.
Battery storage is also dropping in price. I’m excited to see what sodium batteries will be capable of in a few years.
Grid scale is usually the cheapest. I don’t actually see how rooftop solar will ever be affordable because grid prices are going to go down also.
Is the assumption that grid costs will be substantial enough that rooftop solar becomes the cheapest?
Here in Australia rooftop is cheap. Panels pay themself off in 4-6 years
It’s weird that solar has become so cheap, especially in certain countries. China is trying to trade and give loans to as many 3rd world countries as it can and simultaneously it is struggling to sell all it’s solar panels.
Why isn’t China giving loans to 3rd world countries to build solar power plants?
It seems like a win win for Chinese panels to go to places like Pakistan and Africa.
