This week the average price for standard (bifacial, monocrystalline silicon PERC) solar modules fell to a new record low of 9.5 US cents per Watt in normal markets.

I seriously remember in 2008 when a Watt cost $4.20, which is over $6 in 2023 dollars. Plus the modules would have been less efficient (less than 16% compared with today's ~23%), ie a Watt would take up more space.

The times they are a-changing.

Hey grid geeks! Do not miss @TransitionShow Ep. 205, in which Lorenzo Kristov rejoins us to share his thoughts on rebuilding the grid from the bottom-up, putting DERs first. Market design, architecture, procurement, regulatory issues, etc.! Geek Rating: 10.

I just donated to @insideclimatenews because we need experienced, thoughtful journalists like @dangearino on this critical beat.

Journalism isn't free (but propaganda is). Do your part to make sure that skilled journalists like Dan can keep bringing us the news we need on #climatecrisis and the #energytransition.
