THE PRICE OF SOLAR ELECTRICITY HAS DROPPED 89% IN 10 YEARS

 IN 2009, new solar farm was more expensive than a new coal plant. now its flipped. Now we need to power the world with renewables. In 10 years solar electricity dropped to 89%. A 2019 report from the non profit Rocky Mountain Institute found that it was cheaper to build and use a combination of renewables like wind and solar than to build new natural gas plants. Other reports shows the same, as we spend more time in this technology we found to upgrade it in many way and found the breaking point of price it cost.  It took time from 1976 to 2020 and it will improvise more as we need in optimum stage. the use of solar panel in satellite made scientist to find better way to make it. I hope in near future we will see solar technology in optimum level.
