Solar Is Becoming the Cheapest Source of Electricity

For years, the energy market was dominated by sources that weren't clean or renewable, simply because they were cheaper. That's changing.

Is solar energy expensive?

Not like it used to be. The cost of solar has dropped dramatically over the past two decades and continues to fall as technology improves. Homeowners can now install panels for far less than in the past, offset much of their electricity use, and in some cases send extra power back to the utility.

Businesses are putting solar on rooftops. Farmers are installing arrays while crops grow or animals graze nearby. Solar is for everyone.

Why is solar getting cheaper?

Better technology, manufacturing at scale and research funding, including from the U.S. Department of Energy, have pushed costs down faster than many experts expected. Lower costs drive more installations, which pushes costs down further.

The solar growth explosion

Solar is already among the lowest-cost sources of new electricity generation in many parts of the U.S. Work on storage and transmission continues to make solar a bigger part of the energy mix.
