Solar Media's Liam Stoker and Andy Colthorpe take a look at how utilities across the world are increasingly deploying sizeable solar and/or storage plants, and discuss the rise of long-duration storage.
BP has modelled for solar in the US to deploy at levelised costs of around US5¢/kWh by 2040, despite solar already hitting those prices in much of the country.
BP has said the promising “fundamentals” behind the current global solar market triggered it to re-enter and the petrol giant now has ambitious plans for worldwide growth.
