"The plunging cost of solar PV and battery storage has opened up a new frontier
in the transition to green energy, according to a new report, with cities and
industries around the world now able to access low cost, 24-hour solar
generation.
According to the UK-based energy think tank Ember, the combined cost of solar
and battery storage has fallen 22 per cent in the last year alone (see graph
below).
“This is a turning point in the clean energy transition,” says lead analyst
Kostansta Rangelova. “Around-the-clock solar is no longer just a technical
possibility and distant dream, but an economic reality.
“It unlocks game changing opportunities for energy-hungry industries like
data-centres and manufacturing. Solar will be unleashed. The change is new –
the costs and quality of grid batteries have improved so much in the last 12
months. Now it’s time for policy and investment to catch up.”"
