The price of batteries has declined by 97% in the last three decades

We find that for lithium-ion cells, this learning rate was 18.9%. This means prices fell an average of 18.9% every time the installed capacity doubled. As it happens, this is similar to the learning rate of solar modules; with every doubling of installed solar capacity, the price of solar modules dropped by an average of 20.2%.

RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION COSTS IN 2018

Cost declines across the board in 2018 have reconfirmed the status of renewable power as a highly cost-efective energy source. New solar photovoltaic (PV) and onshore wind power are on the verge of costing less than the marginal operating cost of existing coal-fired plants.

Section 201 – Imported Solar Cells and Modules

On January 23, 2018, USTR announced that the President had approved recommendations to provide relief to U.S. manufacturers and impose safeguard tariffs on imported solar cells and modules, based on the investigations, findings, and recommendations of the independent, bipartisan U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).

Exploring the Cost of Solar Energy

(The reason for the small increase between 2005 and 2008 was because of a polysilicon shortage.) The sharp drop in 2009 and 2010 was because of too much capacity, especially in China, which has caused prices to collapse. The 2015 average solar "cell" price was $0.30 per watt and the average solar "module" price was $0.72 per watt.
