Big cost drops from 2010 to 2021 on #renewable #energy installed in G20 countries 📉
•onshore wind power (-68%)
•offshore wind power (-60%)
•concentrated solar thermal power (-68%)
And the trophy goes to utility-scale #solar #photovoltaic with a cost drop of -88%!🏆🎉
The first photovoltaic cells were layered brass/gold/selenium, created by Charles Fritts in 1885. Senku upgraded his with a layer of glass coated in magnesium fluoride, which prevents the sunlight "escaping", thus converting more of it to electricity. They're about 1% efficient.

Concentrated Solar Photovoltaics provide both electricity and heat. They allow for high temperature electrolysis that produces hydrogen and break down CO2 at twice the overall efficiency of conventional PV+electrolysis. Perfect for synthetic fuels.
