8 statements about Solar PV, every show
Happi: Solar panel manufacturing costs dropped 99.6% over 50 years
“If you look at the trajectory over the last 50 years, the cost of making a solar panel has gone down by 99.6%.”
Stadler: Pure solar and battery microgrids are uneconomic for outage resilience
“If you, if you're focusing on costs and carbon emissions, you will always see a combination between renewable technologies and In some gas fart engines for backup reasons or for resiliency reasons, right? It's pretty bad idea from an economic perspective to ha…”
Lacey: Daily Solar Installations Now Equal Full-Year 2003 Total
“We install about as much solar PV in a single day than we installed in all of 2003.”
Patel: Perovskite solar remains in early innovation despite efficiency potential
“Solar PV is mature, is more mature. It's in well into our commercialization phases, but perovskite based solar applied to PV, which has the potential to raise Efficiency significantly, that's still there in that much earlier category.”
Lacey: BloombergNEF projects over 700 GW annual solar additions by 2030
“In its recent solar PV outlook, Bloomberg New Energy Finance projects well over 700 gigawatts of installations per year by 2030.”
Hamilton: Renewables Set to Make Up 80% of New Power Capacity by 2030
“Renewables are set to contribute about 80% of new power capacity by 2030, with PV, solar PV alone, counting for more than half.”
Wurzbacher: Direct air capture will scale and drop in cost like solar
“And that's the same, what has had to happen in our industry, and I'm sure that will happen over the next
two decades to come.”
Lubershane: Solar PV and motors require 50x less land than animal power
“But the total efficiency, if you take solar PV and then run that electricity through an electric motor to do useful work, It's on the order of probably 15 to 20%. So the upshot here is we need like 50 times less land today to get the same amount of energy, use…”
