The Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) is a leading institution documenting and researching the solar rooftop revolution in the US (and elsewhere to some degree). Based on its Rooftop Revolution report, below is a Solar Rooftop Revolution infographic from ILSR. It highlights the time when US rooftop solar power is projected to cost less (without subsidies or other incentives) than grid electricity across, on average. It’s a fun infographic and based on a great report… but the focus on unincentivized solar grid parity misses the much bigger story we’re living in today — that solar panels cost less than electricity today (when you include important and well deserved solar incentives). Check out the commentary below the infographic for more on that.
