How solar energy got so cheap, and why it's not everywhere (yet)

A lot speaks for solar energy. It's clean, renewable - and now even cheaper than energy from fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Sounds pretty great, right? But it only makes up a tiny bit of global electricity production. Why don't we use a lot more of it yet?
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

    The raw material for solar panels is silicon dioxide essentially sand to get the silicon out it is mixed with charcoal then heated in an electric arc furnace to 2000 degrees centigrade from this you have silicon and carbon monoxide gas the silicon isn't pure enough so the process is repeated in the presence of pure silicon rods where pure silicon is deposited. Then starts the manufacturing process to make the panels .

    I am living north of the Alps in Europe and have some collectors on my roof, facing south-east and south-west. In my basement there is a small battery with about 4.7kWh. In March and April our house used less energy than it produced. Still there were some peaks when I needed additional energy from the net, only during the day though, when dish washer, the oven or the washing machine were running. One important change by house based solar systems is that the energy is produced not in central spots but rather the production is distributed, which reduces the need for high tension power lines and changes the setup of the grid. Like the mobile phone did for the landlines.

Additionally, Lead Acid batteries can only be discharged to around 50% without damaging them. Second, Lead Acid batteries will not hold up to the daily charge/discharge cycles required by an electric utility company. The good news is that Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are well suited to the needs of the electrical grid, and they are very cost effective in this application.

    Thank you for the video documentary on “solar energy.” Yes, I use solar energy to support my casa in Baja Sur, MX. I have 16 panels. The MX government has a program that takes the energy you use from their system and deducts from the amount you generate from your solar panels into their system. My cost ends up being on average about $10 USD for every two months. CFE bills every two months. The fee is more a minimal hook-up than use fee. I have a large swimming pool, five bedrooms, each bedroom and other rooms having AC, although we do not always use the AC. In sum, solar system has paid for itself in less than 4 years and I have been operating the system for better than 10 years. Still works great. Minimal problems or maintenance. Fortunately Baja Sur lends itself well to solar power, not all places do. The MX solar systems saves me from having to purchase batteries. Extra energy in credited to me by investing it back in the MX CFE grid.

You ought to be paid a cheap price at best for unreliable power the utility can't count on. In my view, you shouldn't be able to connect your solar system up to the utility at all.

    Electric motors and generators, especially large ones, are very efficient. The problem with this method of energy storage is that you need a lot of mass lifted by a lot of height to store any decent amount of energy. For instance, if you have a ton weight, and you lift it five metres, about the height of two stories, that's only about 50kJ of energy, or 0.013kWh, about half a pence worth of electricity, and you'd need a substantial construction to actually hold that weight up. There are some nice ideas to use very deep mine shafts with a large set of weight loads, and we know pumped storage works, but you need that combination of lots of weight and a very large height change.

    This all sounds very positive. There are not many people who don’t wish to see our reliance on hydrocarbons removed. In some places in the World solar clearly has the potential to replace older carbon emitting power generation, but for countries (western Europe) the sun doesn’t shine too bright. In the UK for solar to provide for all out power needs, if the storage problems are solved, we would need to cover 25% of the land’s surface area. (See Prof David Makay). An alternative is to rely on solar from hotter climates. Power generation promotes economic growth for the world. Solar surely has its place, but perhaps for us in North Western Europe we might be best to be self reliant on power. If we want to generate our own clean energy we might need to look beyond solar and wind if we don’t want to sacrifice our environment on the alter of climate change. There are alternatives. We might need to understand them better and change their profile.

I understand this post was about solar, but I always thought the combination of wind and sun is ideal, for wind turbines even small ones can produce a good amount of energy in clowdy conditions or at night, compensating for when solar is down.

    In the US, you could use a lot of the desert Southwest for solar panels, and instead of using Li-Ion grid storage which is a terrible idea because of the demand on different metals, use ESS's iron redux flow batteries, which mostly use iron and water. Once long range power transmission is improved in the US, the Southwest could power a lot of the country. Add that in with the wind corridor which goes up through Texas and OK and further north and get a lot more wind generation that feeds power to the east. Between the 2, improved long range power transmission, and grid storage, you could probably power 80% of the US with just that. But of course states would have to work together and the Fed. govt. would have to be run by people who understand global warming, because the way the country is going right now, I see no cooperation for getting this done. Probably due to power companies that use coal and natural gas and the oil industry and coal mining company owners who want to keep pushing the lie that fossil fuels aren't contributing to global warming and want to use fear of job losses to keep the country from moving forward.

To me this is an issue and they should try to get the transparent cells cheaper. Half the price of standard ones so we can afford twice as many.

He's got 3, 45 ton cement blocks on his property with 3 wenches and 3 geared down fly wheels in a personal small warehouse. When he has excess energy, the electric motors kick in and lift the cement blocks with the fly wheels and gears on steel chains. Some days, the blocks are lifted 15 feet high, the highest they can go. At night, the gears are reversed and an extra gear slides into place and one by one, the blocks slowly come back down and drive a generator motor more than enough to power the entire home for 6 days if needed. He says it's called a gravity battery. Seems to work pretty well.

    I would love to be able to run my travel trailer on 100% solar. I can afford the solar panels. That`s within reach. Well, not really, and you`ll see why if you continue reading. What I mean is, I can afford to pay 77 dollars for a 100 watt solar panel. I could buy one per month, maybe two, even on my limited income. The lithium iron phosphate batteries one needs, for the quality ones, cost at least 700 dollars (much more for the best) each for 100 amp hours. Yes, you can buy less expensive lead acid batteries but they`ll need to be replaced far more often and if they`re over discharged even once they`re instantly ruined. So for emergencies which happen all the time in tornado and hurricane country I`ve bought three portable power stations that can be recharged with solar panels. Two have lithium iron phosphate batteries good for 2500 to over 7000 charge cycles to 80% remaining capacity depending on how you use them. I can run lights, fans, a small freezer, and cook rice and lentils and heat water for instant coffee and tea. If I use a timer that only turns my freezer on for a limited time every few hours I can extend the tun time of the very limited storage capacity of the power stations and save my food. But a week of cloudy skies and I`m in trouble. I will probably get a gas generator for backup but decided on solar first just in case democrats destroy the country and gas isn`t affordable or available. Using some of the portable solar panels with USB outputs I can charge little power banks and all types of smaller batteries for radios and flashlights with USB chargers. I can run an extension USB cable inside to power a 2 watt fan or 5 watt light even on cloudy days with a higher wattage panel. This is a rough estimate but fairly accurate. One 100 amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery can power a 500 watt air conditioner for aprox two hours. The highest quality batteries of this kind sold at the moment cost 800 to over 1000 dollars. That`s a LOT of money to run a small air conditioner for 24 hours and we haven`t even discussed to cost of the solar panels, wiring, inverter, charge controller, and other costs involved with a proper installation. And these batteries have a battery management system (BMS) that contains electronics that can fail. You will also need TWICE the amount of batteries if you want to maintain the charge cycles between 30% and 70% charge range and greatly extend the life of your priceless batteries, so double the amount of batteries you need to 48. But what if you have two days of rain? Well you now need 106 batteries to power your air conditioner and and ungodly amount of solar panels and your charge controller just got more expensive.

    On the east coast of Australia (where I live) photovoltaic panels are the way to go. We can power all the major cities and towns down the coastline with solar. We have a mountain range that spans from the top of Queensland to the bottom of Victoria, so we can use solar during the day at the same time as pumping seawater to the top of the mountain range that is stored and released after sunset to turn turbines at night. We can also cover our freshwater supplies with floating solar panels which reduces water loss from evaporation, with the added benefit of cooling the panels with the water they are floating on. In times of drought (which we seem to experience in 7-year cycles), the pumped seawater that is stored on top of the mountain range can be gravity fed through a desalination process after passing through the turbines and then delivered to the areas that need it, usually the farmland on the other side of the mountains. It really is a simple and cost-effective way to provide energy, create fresh water and drought-proof our country.

    Molten salt systems are concentrated solutions which could be installed next to large energy generation facilities. However the issues are in the distribution also. What li-ion offers is easy management of horde of smaller units. This so called aggregation also allows us to have the transmission and distribution secured by leveling loads and maintaining the voltage at the end of the line. And if we go even behind the meter what Tesla Powerwalls and Sonnen batteries are there are additional gains to be achieved. So battery energy storage is not only a energy storage device as it also serves as part of the electrical grid as critical support to telecom base stations and other infrastructures (fresh and waster water, radars, traffic lights, etc.). Cost efficiency of li-ion and revenue stacking is just killing all competiton.

    Solten salt storage is used with concentrated solar towers, which is still a more expensive form (2-3 times more expensive for the generation 'plant'). However you do have the storage advantage. But some disadvantages besides price are things like location (you need a place with a lot of sun) and the heat it generates in the air (which can literally fry birds if they fly through it). In places it is used there also usually is a problem/impact of water usage to keep the mirrors clean in area's usually already struggling with water/dry weather.

    Hi Ronak, good question! Solar panel efficiency is usually measured by the amount of sunlight that falls onto the surface. The solars also depend on the cell type used because panel efficiency is calculated by the power rating divided by the total panel area - so an increase in cell surface area will boost the overall efficiency.

To any considerable extent, grid digitisation doesn't help solar energy, especially at night, and is at best described as a bandaid. Batteries are also a very dilute form of energy. The evolution of grid-scale energy storage using batteries is long, drawn-out, and slow-moving and will have its day of reckoning as fantasy meets reality. In a conventional electricity grid, the excess reserve margin is used to cover peak energy demand. Ultimately, as more wind and solar energy is added to the grid, so the excess reserve margin therein has to increase. That latency has to be paid for (by the end-user). Ultimately, I can't wait for all of these dilute and unreliable wind turbines and solar panels to come online so that they can generate power for heavy Industry, seawater desalination, carbon sequestration, green hydrogen, millions of electric vehicles, domestic heating/cooling/lighting, and cooking, baseload power for the electricity grid, excess reserve for peak demand, and electricity for grid-scale storage for when the wind ain't blowing, and for when the sun ain't shining.

Now middle class who can work from home and pensioners are looking ways for getting away from the big cities. Also privatization of the electrical power generation and distribution in Turkey favored energy companies more than the consumer. The prices have hiked seriously in the last decade. So eventually cheap solar energy will encourage more people to live off the grid in our case.

    @@DWPlanetA The video is not so good. It is true that in EU and USA the cost of nuclear are high but this has nothing to do with the technology per se, it has to do with 5 decades of over-regulation and criminalization of the technology. France and Sweden decarbonized the electricity sector decades ago by using nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is, despite decades of criminalization, the largest carbon-free energy source in EU and USA. Nuclear energy was also the largest carbon-free electricity source in Germany before 2011. Comparing the cost of nuclear and solar does not make a lot of sense: a modern nuclear reactor can last 80-100 years and works with 90(+)% capacity factor, solar panels and batteries last 20-25 years and the cost of storage is never mentioned in the solar cost. Solar panels work, in the best case scenario, with 30% capacity factor the rest of the time they need back-up (methane) and storage (that does not exist on a large scale). That is why, despite decades of massive subsidies, solar generates less than 1% of the global primary energy, and global primary energy is going to increase a lot. The idea that solar, wind, batteries and biofuels are going to save us is a hallucinatory delusion. The Energiewende program in Germany is an example of the failure of this idea: they are still the largest consumer of coal, they will use coal until 2038 and they are doubling the North stream, not to mention the increase of energy cost. And they still have much higher emission of nuclear states like France or Sweden. Comparing solar and nuclear is like comparing an airplane and a hot air balloon: the hot air balloon might be cheaper but no one takes and hot air balloon while traveling from London to New York. A 1400 MW Korean APR reactor costs 5-6 billions and produces 900 billion of KWhs in 80 years, day and night, summer and winter...So you can do the math. China, Russia and Korea usually build the reactor on time, on schedule and on budget, that means it is possible. Just out of curiosity what is the plan for powering a 200 thousands tons cargo ship with solar or wind? You can easily do that with a nuclear reactor...

    Hi... I am an Off Grid solar power provider in Malaysia, kind of a small company. The biggest problem we are facing is the power storage whereby the cycle of the batteries will eventually fade out and the cost of replacing the batteries will cost a huge sum of money. Though solar panels price is decreasing by day, the wet batteries prices are increasing every month. As for the deep cycle batteries, it cost 3 times the price of a wet battery which doesn't really last a long time as it claims. The majority of off grid users are on the rural areas or farm which commercial power are not available. And.. as for the On Grid system, our govt took us for fools by selling us the solar panels 3 times the price and only will be legal if purchase from them and sell back to them at a rate of 25% of the commercial electricity. I guess this is how the solar business goes in my country and licensing are only granted to their favor only. BTW, I venture into this business to support the act of Green the World but I was wondering if the matte surface of the solar panel would reflect heat or rays back to the atmosphere?

    Thank you for sharing all that interesting info. And regarding your last point, indeed it has been shown that solar panels are producing an actual warming affect. Not the fake global warming affect promoted by the climate hoaxers, but a real warming affect quite profound.

    The price of solar panels drop by about 11% a year for over 3 decades, the price of a kWh of batteries drops by about 16% a year recently.

    Great idea. How can I get solar deals from Germany? I am based in Zimbabwe were there is no manufacturing industries for this great technology . I am also keen to start and industry in my rural areas of Zimbabwe.

    How did they achieve 20cents/watt? last time I check 400 watt solar kit was ~700 plus tax. Thats $1.75/watt. Share your source please.

    You guys are missing another battery which isn’t being utilized… our homes. Heating and cooling accounts for a significant amount of energy usage. By over heating/cooling our homes while the sun is shining, you can reduce the need for heating and cooling needed when it’s not. Coupled with good insulation (which reduces energy requirements as well), this is very effective. I’ve been doing it for years and it works great!

    put up few pieces solar panels to help reduce day time electric cost is not a bad idea.

    Do we reuse the batteries when their life is over or do they become waste. Is lifimim or other materials of a battery harmful to the environment when mine. So is solar or electricity vehicles using a big battery also good or bad ? I just want to know......thanks.

    We currently do a poor job of recycling Li-ion batteries, because most of the production is in small dispersed personal electronics. Cellphones, laptops, etc. As the individual battery installations become car, or substation size, the logistics of recycling become much easier. Lithium is usually mined as a salt from evaporite deposits in dried desert lakebeds. Like most everything humans do, its environmental effects always depend on how it is done. You can get it quick, cheap, or clean. Pick 2. Humans on average always pick cheap first.
