2021年太阳能成本跃升扭转多年价格下跌趋势

   据CNBC 成本下降一直是太阳能推广的关键驱动力，但由于普遍的经济挑战（包括供应链的限制），2021年的价格上涨影响了该行业。

根据周四太阳能产业协会和伍德麦肯兹发布的一份报告，去年太阳能产业部分价格上涨了18%。

这是伍德麦肯兹自2014年开始跟踪数据以来，三个市场（住宅、商业和公用事业规模）价格上涨的第一年。

报告称，贸易行动和政策不确定性除了供应链瓶颈外，也给行业带来了压力。

尽管如此，2021年太阳能产业新增23.6吉瓦的新产能，比2020年的水平增加了19%。德克萨斯州全年新增太阳能最多，首次超过加利福尼亚州。

在住宅方面，安装量同比增长30%，创下50多万台的新纪录。

Solar costs jumped in 2021,reversing years of falling prices

Declining costs have been a key driving force behind solar adoption,but in 2021 prices jumped as broad economic challenges — including supply chain constraints — hit the industry.

In some portions of the solar industry,prices rose as much as 18% last year,according to a report released Thursday by the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie.

It was the first year that prices rose across all three markets — residential,commercial and utility scale — since 2014,when Wood Mackenzie began tracking the data.

In addition to supply chain bottlenecks,trade actions and policy uncertainty also weighed on the sector,the report said.

Still,the solar industry installed a record 23.6 gigawatts of new capacity in 2021,a 19% increase from 2020′s levels. Texas added the most solar during the year,overtaking California for the first time.

On the residential front,installations surged 30% year over year,hitting a new record above 500,000.
