We recently wrote about solar PV prices and how a Biden win could be bullish for solar panel prices next year. Why? The extra demand that would come from a Green New Deal-type stimulus. While it looks like Joe Biden will be the next US President, the Republicans controlling the Senate – at least for now – means any kind of big Green New Deal may be off the table.
Electric vehicles globally registered a 40% year-on-year increase in 2019. Technological breakthroughs in the electrification of cars, buses, and trucks are driving growth, growing markets are bringing down prices. And now, 200 new charging points mean the Pan-American Highway is now a “100% Electric Pan-American Charging Corridor.”
If Biden wins, solar prices could be hugely impacted. As companies ‘reset for growth beyond coronavirus,’ businesses are looking towards the future for the first time in months. Many businesses are operating under real financial stress and are looking to plummeting solar panel prices as one key way to save money by cutting the cost of energy.
The world of commercial and industrial energy storage is fundamentally different from that of residential batteries.

Tesla Powerpacks and Megapacks are changing the face of solar energy and batteries in Central America, especially in Costa Rica, Honduras and Colombia.
Are you thinking about investing in a solar energy system and also wondering if batteries would make sense to meet your energy needs? If saving money for your business and doing good by the planet are two goals, answering 7 key questions can help you make a decision.

How do my solar panels work on cloudy days and even generate more power when there are clouds? If it seems counterintuitive that you might get more power from your solar panels on a cloudy day, then you should definitely read on. After all, energy generation is key to saving money with solar panels.
Batteries have become cheaper by most measures that matter, which is not necessarily the total cost. Depending on requirements, the metric could be per kWh of storage or cost per kW of discharge capacity. With the price of batteries falling to unprecedented levels, the savings generated outweigh most if not all of the financing cost and can be financing through leasing as solar plants have long been.
