Every day, the Earth gets about 174 petawatts of solar energy. By 2050, solar energy is expected to provide half (50%) of the world's electricity. The solar panel recycling industry will be worth $2.7 billion by 2030. The typical cost for a home solar system is between $10,290 and $20,580. Solar panels can help cut household energy bills by 20-50%.
These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs and guide SETO research and development programs. Read more to find out how these cost benchmarks are modeled and download the data and cost modeling program below.
