Solar rooftop power in the US will become cheaper than electricity from the grid in the next two years. A report from Deutsche Bank predicts that solar power will get to “grid parity” in all 50 states. Grid parity is when an alternative source of electricity reaches the same price as getting power from the main power grid. The projection has vast implications for reducing greenhouse emissions and announces a real game changer for the future of energy in the US.
