How Can Solar Electricity Become Even Cheaper?
At the start of mass production of electricity from sunlight, discussions on solar electricity prices have never been arrested. The main focus is electricity produced from sunlight, which was generally more expensive than that supplied by the mains. Prices may be lower? If they can, how can we achieve it?
falling costs
One solar panels were expensive and inexpensive time today. The downward trend of the solar panel is still ongoing as mass production of solar panels, several expeditions and high standards continue. More importantly, some regions such as mainland China and Taiwan can offer even lower prices to customers in areas where cheap solar panels are not available. If high taxes are concerned, their prices are high. If they change policies, prices may fall continuously. In addition, solar inverters, as souls in electricity generation, may have lower prices in the future. Gros is a way of lowering their prices; and high requirements may be another. You see, now leading people to use solar energy has greatly improved.
Increased efficiency and innovation of solar energy devices
Production and wholesale mass can make devices that produce solar electricity will become cheaper, but no guarantees maximum solar energy prices in the future. At this time, improving the effectiveness of these products is required. In fact, the efficiency of solar panels is improved. Today the panels have an efficiency of 20% on average, while in the past, the figure was far below her. In fact, now looking for maximum efficiency has already reached 40%, although this has not yet been implemented. In the future, this percentage decreases continuously fail. Much of the efficiency of existing photovoltaic inverters has already reached 96.5% (micro inverters) and 98.5% (commercial investors) are also expected to make the most efficient inverters in the coming years. More efficient products make, the more electricity will come out. When electricity becomes more, will be cheaper.
Strong demand for sunlight
Solar electricity comes from sunlight. Therefore, it is much better if more solar plants are built in areas where sunlight is too rich and more families around the world can choose to go solar and build small solar power at home. Sunlight rich areas such as deserts and Ecuador should be further explored, and in fact this trend has already started like many people wonder why we do not build solar power plants in these areas. Obviously, besides some human reasons, the best result is technology. Undoubtedly, future technology will overcome these problems and support our idea of building power plants in those places. In addition, many countries have begun to promote the production of residential solar energy, which is a major contributor at the best price. Today the power of the house still costs a lot, it is necessary to build a system with its own money. This is often thousands of dollars or more. Donations can be a complement to the high costs, but people are willing to build even need to take debts. The limitation is that only the rich areas of sun can get electricity bills even less.
Increased competition
No blood, no murders in the field of solar energy, but the competition is fierce. Germany had no competitors in the past, but many competitors around the world are facing today. If providers in the country were monopolists in this industry, electricity production price would be very expensive. Fortunately, the truth is quite the opposite, and the prices are cheap sun. In the area of price competition, many fell down and sacrifice for the best players. With the growth in demand for solar energy, people around the world will benefit from lower prices. In the process of education, climate change and the environment can help people to turn to solar energy.
The benefits of small business customers
We hope to always work in a large company, because it can provide good salaries, bonuses and dividends. When you buy a product, we hope that it can be as cheap as we wish. This is a contradiction of humanity. However, we can achieve this by choosing relatively small businesses, human labor costs are low. Sometimes their products may not be as good, while large companies can ensure that their products are 100% good? If small businesses are chosen, the cost of electricity production will decline slightly.
These five elements affect the price of solar electricity, although not absolutely sure that prices will decrease significantly. However, the truth is that nothing is absolutely secure. In fact, the latest technology climate change, worsening living environmental issues, the falling prices of solar devices, and acceptance of solar energy of the population has improved and this will lead generating electricity by harnessing massive of solar energy. Prices cheaper electricity at this point that we can expect in the coming years.
