Essens Renewable, EPC Solar Solutions for Solar Panel Installation

Admin EssensFebruary 5, 2026

Solar panels, or solar energy, have been recognized as the world’s cheapest source of electricity. This conclusion comes from a recent discovery and should be considered if you plan to switch to clean and renewable energy.

Learn more about solar energy and solar panel installation with Essens Renewable, an experienced EPC solar panel provider that offers surveys, procurement, and construction of solar power plants (EPC solar solutions), in the following article:

Solar Panels as the Cheapest Clean Energy

A recent study from the University of Surrey found that solar panels are the cheapest source of electricity globally, surpassing other energy sources such as wind, coal, and gas. In countries with abundant sunlight, the cost of producing one unit of solar energy is even less than EUR 1.

The research also concluded that the price drop of lithium-ion batteries by 89% since 2010 has made solar energy storage systems just as cost-efficient as gas power plants.

However, several other factors contribute to solar panels being the cheapest clean energy source, such as:

  • Technological and manufacturing industry advancements: Technology improvements have increased the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity, thus reducing the cost per watt produced. Additionally, advancements in manufacturing have made solar panels cheaper to produce.
  • Increased production: The rising global demand for solar energy has driven manufacturers to produce solar components at scale, which in turn reduces material, labor, and production costs.
  • Government policies and incentives: Government involvement through subsidies and tax incentives has also boosted solar energy adoption, creating a stable and supportive environment for solar panel installations.

Therefore, the photovoltaic (PV) technology used in solar panels is not only economically affordable but also a key driver of the global shift toward clean and renewable energy.
