The conventional start of the photovoltaic module price series

Assembled from 35 blocks · 1 evidence · 23 related

1. Story
2. The year from which the standard long-run module price series is usually drawn, at a price of the order of a hundred United States dollars per watt in the money of the day. It is a convention of the data rather than an event in the technology: 1976 is simply where a continuous, comparable price record begins. It matters because it fixes the baseline against which the roughly three-order-of-magnitude decline is measured, and because that baseline is what makes the decline legible as a learning curve rather than as a series of unrelated improvements.

34. Evidence
35. Supports the finding that probabilistic forecasts built on observed cost-versus-cumulative-deployment relationships have outperformed the expert and official projections used in energy planning, and that solar, wind and storage costs have fallen at rates those projections repeatedly failed to anticipate.
