The lurking threat to solar power’s growth
Climate Change, Energy & Pollution
Research findings have indicated that adding more solar panels to a grid reduces the value of a solar plant farm. On sunny days the farms generate lots of electricity, producing more than required. This overproduction causes electricity prices to decrease, even reaching values in the negatives. Furthermore, the excessive amount …
