Cost of Solar Power to drop by half by end of 2009

Tue, 11/24/2009 - 10:07 green

According to a report from New Energy Finance, the research firm predicts that by the end of 2009 the “capital markets will loosen upâ€� and combined with the continuing decrease in solar equipment costs, will lead to a 50 percent drop in overall solar costs compared to the end of 2008.
While only 15,000 tons of silicon were available for use in solar cells in 2005, by 2010, this number could grow to 123,000 tons, Sullivan says. And that will allow existing and planned production of solar panels to ramp up, increasing supply. "What that means, practically, is that [solar] module prices are going to come down pretty dramatically in the next two or three years," Bradford says.

Many economists argue that if China were able to better develop a social safety net that would protect its citizens against the risk of illness or outliving retirement savings, the country could begin to support a more vibrant consumer market. Growing consumer spending, in turn, could energize the Chinese economy and make it less dependent on export markets. At the same time, it would also provide new outlets for Western products and trigger overall economic growth.
