As shown in this chart, the price of solar panels has dropped from over $1.20/watt in 2011 to under $0.20/watt in 2024 — an 85%+ decline. This demonstrates Swanson’s Law, which states: For every doubling of cumulative solar production, prices fall by about 20%. Swanson’s Law is a specific case of Wright’s Law, the broader principle that costs fall as experience and scale increase. These learning-curve dynamics have defined the rise of solar and they show up across many other segments, like batteries, EVs, chips. As we move more and more into AI and robotics/automation, we will see the same.
