Upside – Solar Uptick

6 rows of blue solar panels in a green field.

2023 reported a decrease in price for solar panel production. Europe and China are invested and buying more as they become available according to Bloomberg. Solar is increasing in terms of installing panels and it goes without saying; a much cleaner option than burning coal. It is also a safer alternative to nuclear power, which has faded in popularity over time due to horrible accidents.

The increase in solar, in 2023, looks to be met with even better predictions in 2024 and it’s about time. The first solar panel (commercially viable) was created in 1950 by Bell Labs. President Carter had them installed on top of the White House (removed by Reagan) and can be installed in homes as well as solar farms.

I hope you enjoyed the “Upside” – I’ll try to keep them coming!
