It\u2019s something of a parlor game among energy companies and analysts to predict when, exactly, solar will achieve \u201cgrid parity\u201d with coal and other cheap sources of electricity\u2014in other words, when it will be just as economical to buy clean, renewable energy as it will be to buy coal power. There\u2019s no clear answer: government subsidies will play a role, and solar will become a player in some regions and countries long before it makes sense everywhere. And just because solar is cheap doesn&#8217;t mean it will become the world\u2019s primary source of power overnight. When solar is as cheap as coal, it\u2019ll make more financial sense for investors to build solar plants.
