There is a point — call it The Solarity — where solar energy becomes so abundant and cheap it is functionally free.
Not free like "subsidized."
Free like: the marginal cost of an additional watt approaches zero.
New academic paper argues we are on a deterministic path toward that threshold, and that token-based solar incentives accelerate the timeline.
When energy is free, what happens to everything priced in energy?
That's the real question.

Solar is doing more to reduce energy poverty than any other tech!
Solar is now the single biggest addition to grid capacity in many African countries.
Ten countries will each add at least 1 GW of solar between 2023 and 2026.

A sheet of glass on the front of a solar panel does nothing but keep the rain off and let the light through, so a California company coated it in PV to make it the first layer that generates, and 3 manufacturers have signed 13 GW of it.

🚨 NEW | #Africa will install a RECORD 17 GW of solar capacity in 2026, a 45% increase from the year before ☀️📈
That’s ~100,000 solar panels installed every single day, marking the third record year in a row for African solar deployment 🌍

Solar power has passed another big milestone. Solar has reached and quickly surpassed the 3-terawatt — yes, terawatt — marker globally. That’s how much solar power is installed across the world.

Analysis shows that large-scale #solar is still among the lowest-cost sources of new electricity generation, while #storage is becoming an increasingly critical part of building a more resilient grid. hubs.li/Q04qcyT_0

Temperatures during fire season in Canada (May-Sept) have risen a bit more than 2 °C (3.6 °F) in the last 50 years.
Climate warming doesn't start fires, but persistent hot and dry conditions can increase flammable fuel load, making any fires that do occur more severe.

Worth repeating
Again, and again
Solar brings value as a multiple use for:
Solar sheltered car parks
Solar sheltered cycleways
Solar vertical noise reduction on road corridors
Solar farm fence

Everything will be solar
- your house

- the Opera House
- the big house on the hill in Canberra

Friendly heads-up for SMA solar users: if your installation is connected to Sunny Portal, you may be able to claim your SolarCoin rewards as kSLR right now. SolarCoin's migration to Base means verified solar production is rewarded in kSLR - and the process is built to be straightforward for eligible holders.
See solarcoin.org for the claim flow.
Danke an alle SMA- und Sunny-Portal-Nutzer, die Solarenergie sichtbar machen! Wenn ihr SolarCoin kennt: Jetzt ist der richtige Zeitpunkt, eure Solar-Erzeugung als kSLR zu prufen oder neu zu beanspruchen - freundlich, unkompliziert und direkt uber SolarCoin.
Infos und Einstieg: solarcoin.org
kSLR is SolarCoin's reward token on Base - issued at 1 kSLR per kWh of verified solar production. For SMA owners, the solar data you already track can connect to a simpler claim experience, while preserving the same core solar incentive SolarCoin was built on.
solarcoin.org
Fur SMA-Nutzer gibt es ein Update: Wer seine Anlage uber Sunny Portal verwaltet, kann Solar-Erzeugung weiterhin als kSLR uber SolarCoin geltend machen. Bestehende SLR-Bestande werden in kSLR auf Base gespiegelt - verifizierte Solarproduzenten konnen ihre Belohnung einfach abrufen.
Mehr dazu: solarcoin.org
If you use an SMA inverter or Sunny Portal, there's good news: eligible solar production can now be claimed as kSLR through SolarCoin's updated Base-based system. Existing SLR balances are being mirrored into kSLR, making solar rewards simpler for verified producers.

Good morning with good news: Solar generated 27.3% of Italy's electricity in May 2026, up from 25.4% in May 2025.
Solar rose ~20% to 6 TWh in May 2026 from 5 TWh in May 2025.
Italy's largest solar plant, so far, also started in June.
