LCOE as of 2020 is $69 USD/MWh in Australia, which is the country the article is referring to.
That might be more expensive than large scale solar, but it’s arguably offset by less of a reliance on transmission infrastructure and, combined with batteries, helps individuals have more resilience in the case of blackouts or other grid issues (which may be more common due to the effects of climate change).
Hmm, that is significantly lower cost which definitely makes residential solar look more attractive compared to nuclear &etc, but it still doesn’t outcompete utility-scale solar or wind. Speaking of which, this source seems completely one-sided as no comparisons are made with any other methods of electricity generation.
If residential solar cost is falling, what about other solar systems?
