The actual headline is:
Analysis finds "anytime electricity" from solar available as battery costs plummet.
Those missing quotes go a long way to making the headline make sense.
- k1t 9mo agoI think they meant "viable" instead of "available"
- hammock 9mo agoJust read the subhead. It explains everything. Ember’s report outlines how falling battery capital expenditures and improved performance metrics have lowered the levelized cost of storage, making dispatchable solar a competitive, anytime electricity option globally.
- malfist 9mo agoIts still really confusing. A better title would be "When solar power from batteries are available, costs plummet" Or since power has no provenience, "When batteries are available, electricity prices fall"
- bee_rider 9mo agoThis doesn’t really capture their meaning though. They are describing a change in how the solar generated electricity can be treated due to the changing battery prices. Arguably your edit is more factual. But part of the job of the title in an editorial like this is to tell you what their perspective is.
- fweimer 9mo agoI assume the intended meaning is “reduced battery costs make around-the-clock solar-generated electricity possible”. I don't think it's possible to predict how technical changes in electricity production and storage impact prices.
- Angostura 9mo ago"Falling battery costs make electricity from solar viable day and night"
