2019 was half a decade ago.

You can tell solar+storage is cheaper than anything else except conditionally wind at least in the US because people have stopped building new generation capacity for anything else.



True, I didn't realize how much panel costs have declined since then[0]. Also tax incentives for renewables have doubled as well (rightfully so)[1].

Well, that claim isn't true.

Solar + Storage is cheaper than a gas peaker plant, but it is not cost competitive with a base load gas plant.
