A thread on PV expectations for the coming ten years:
higher efficiences and lower costs due to a host of new technologies.
My take-away: the solar energy hurricane is still gaining strength.
Learning in solar production (Swansons' Law) is not slowing down but speeding up!

We often say every doubling of production lowers solar module prices by 20%
but from 1976 to 2022 it was 24.4%
and from 2006 to 2022 it was 39.3%

Solar is becoming incredibly cost effective.
This is partly due to cheaper production "per piece" (15%) and partly due to the efficiency of each piece getting higher (8%).

NREL expects prices for installation and per kWh to reduce by around 30% in the coming ten years.
(I think price reductions will probably be higher than expected again.)

ČEZ chystá v Tušimicích velký solární projekt s největší fotovoltaikou v ČR
https://oenergetice.cz/obnovitelne-zdroje-energie/cez-chysta-v-tusimicich-velky-solarni-projekt-s-nejvetsi-fotovoltaikou-v-cr

jestli tomu dobře rozumím tak první fáze bude 87MW DC = 73MW AC
celkem 243MW

a v lokalitě výhledově 400MW

to vybízí k nějaké 200MW/800MWh baterce kolem roku 2028 :)

Iron-air startup Form Energy agrees Georgia Power project
https://www.energy-storage.news/form-energy-signs-definitive-agreement-for-100-hour-iron-air-bess-with-georgia-power/

Multi-day storage’ technology company Form Energy and US utility Georgia Power have sealed a “definitive agreement” for a grid-scale project.

Startup Form Energy has a proprietary electrochemical energy storage tech based on oxidisation (rusting) of iron, which it has claimed creates a battery capable of storage durations of around 100 hours.
