Documenting a Decade of Cost Declines for PV Systems | News | NREL
A decade ago, the module alone cost around $2.50 per watt, and now an entire utility-scale PV system costs around $1 per watt," said NREL Senior Financial Analyst David Feldman. "With similar reductions in hardware costs for storage systems, PV and storage have become vastly more affordable energy resources across the nation.".
Energy storage
In July 2021 China announced plans to install over 30 GW of energy storage by 2025 (excluding pumped-storage hydropower), a more than three-fold increase on its installed capacity as of 2022.
