Solar module prices reached a new low this week, says Leen van Bellen, business development manager Europe for Search4Solar, a European purchasing and selling platform for solar products. He tells pv magazine that prices will remain low in the short term.

That said, general energy conservation is still important. You can’t cut emissions if all your new power just gets funnelled into Grok style AI.
