Swanson’S Law

Views: 1716
Swanson’s law states,
. . . that with every doubling of production and shipments of Solar PV panels,
. . . there has been a 20% reduction in the cost of panels.

What this relationship shows is,
. . . that we are well on our way to seeing solar panels cost almost nothing, and
. . . there is no hyperbole in this statement.
This is part of a broader trend highlights by Jeremy Rifkin.

What Swanson’s law doesn’t address, is the balance of costs of solar systems,
. . . represented by labor, inverters, racking, wiring, local rules and
. . . Customer acquisition.
Households owned PV systems in the first quarter of 2013 were,
. . . 1 of  32 Germany,
. . . 1 of  83 California, and
. . . 1 of 323 U.S.A.
