Good morning with good news: An incredible 574GW of solar will be built globally during 2024 says BNEF & Jenny Chase. That is 130% more than was built in 2022, which was a big record year itself!
In 2030, a huge 880GW is forecasted. Below is the MEDIUM forecast scenario. WOW!
Jesse D. Jenkins I installed a system in New Mexico in 1979 when solar cost $41 per watt. An acquaintance just bought a container of panels for 25 cents per watt! 164 times less expensive!!!
Excited to join this season with Farhad Billimoria! We had our first recording today - subscribe for a very wonky first episode on all things electricity soon. publicpowerunderground.com
Good morning with good news: Battery energy density improved 10X since 1920s and 5X since 1980s.
Batteries keep getting better & cheaper, spurring electrification of autos, buses. vans, bikes and increasing solar & wind on grids!
