If you thought the only thing plummeting lately were your hopes of ever getting a decent WiFi signal, think again! Solar panel prices are taking a nosedive, all the way down to 8.7 cents per watt. Yes, you read that right—these little solar dynamos are now cheaper than that artisanal avocado toast you keep telling yourself is a smart investment.
Now don’t go popping the confetti just yet, because while this global drop is fabulous for green energy enthusiasts everywhere, over in the U.S., things aren’t quite so sunny. Thanks to a certain someone’s tariffs (yes, I’m looking at you, former president), we’re caught in a bit of a pickle. Over 80% of solar panels on the market come from China, and let’s just say there’s a bit of a price war brewing there.
But let’s focus on the bright side—lower prices mean more people could finally consider making the switch to solar energy. And that’s a win for the planet! Who knew saving the environment could get so economical?
