Is a domestic manufacturing base in solar PV a good investment?

A domestic manufacturing base in solar PV may provide other benefits besides direct employment worthy of future study. Our model does not incorporate any spillover benefits to adjacent industries, such as semiconductors and electronics.

Does a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain save money?

Modelling shows that a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain has resulted in photovoltaic installation cost savings of billions of dollars.

Are solar PVs cheaper than fossil fuels?

Over the past 40 years, solar photovoltaic (PV) prices have fallen by over two orders of magnitude, and during the period 2010 to 2021, the global weighted-average levelized cost of energy of newly commissioned utility-scale solar PVs fell by 88% (ref. 5), making solar PVs cheaper than fossil fuel power in some parts of the world.

Which markets are most impacted by new solar projects?

The vast majority of new solar growth is in the non-residential and utility markets. Over 70% of solar projects today are in these two markets. By Q3 2020, the U.S. had installed a record 11 GW of new solar capacity. Analysts forecast new installations from 2021-2025 to exceed 107 GWdc, which will be primarily driven by utility-scale projects.
