Since 2013, battery prices dropped 3x as fast as optimists expected.
20x faster than EIA forecast.

Reblogged this on AGR Daily 60 Second News Bites.
Since when are the EIA “optimists”?
Peter, are these graphs for “boiler plate” capacity, so that to get the actual solar energy delivered you need to multiply by the standard capacity factor for solar PV of 0.20? Makes a big difference.
@indy222
Power plant installs, regardless of type are always nameplate capacity.
Even nuclear, coal, gas or oil do not have 100% capacity factor.
I don’t see the graphs at the IEA World Energy Outlook website. Can you tell me where you got it?
thanks
