How much does solar energy (really) cost?
How much does solar energy (really) cost?
Photovoltaic solar energy has gained great sympathy and even preference when the topic is emission reduction.
It emerges as a great sustainable lever.
There is a little publicized aspect associated with solar energy. How much does it really cost?
From the installer's point of view, it is the investment in the system (plates, converters, etc.).
But on the supply side of electricity through the grid, it is necessary to consider the investment so that at night or even during the day when the sun is not shining, the customer is served normally.
This energy from the public "backup" grid costs much more than the one we currently pay because it operates as a backup energy, that is, it does not generate energy at its maximum capacity.
What needs to be clear is that the cost of electricity will increase in real value and a lot! Get ready!
