17 kWh

In sun-drenched places like Las Vegas, installing just 5 kW of fixed solar panels and a 17 kWh battery daily can achieve stable, round-the-clock solar power supply of 1 kW for 24 hours.

In a sunny city like Las Vegas in the U.S., providing an average of 1 kW of stable, all-day electricity requires 5 kW of fixed solar panels and a 17 kWh battery. This combination can steadily deliver 1 kW of solar power every hour over 24 hours—a battery capacity sufficient to meet the electricity demands of most regions worldwide.

97%

In the sunniest regions of the world, solar utilization can reach 97%, enabling stable 24/365 power supply.

Cloudy weather means that achieving year-round, all-day solar power generation (i.e., maintaining the same constant solar output every hour of every day throughout the year) would require massive amounts of solar capacity and batteries, which may not be economical. However, in sun-rich cities, over 90% generation can be achieved. Las Vegas can reach 97%, delivering a constant 1 GW of power, while Muscat, Oman, achieves 99% with 6 GW of solar panels and 17 GWh of batteries. Even in cloudier cities like Birmingham, 62% generation is possible, enabling constant hourly power supply every day of the year.

$104/MWh

In sunny regions, achieving 97% 24/365 solar power now costs just $104/MWh—cheaper than coal and nuclear, and 22% lower than a year ago.

In a sunny city like Las Vegas, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is estimated at $104/MWh based on the 97% benchmark. This is already 22% lower than the $132/MWh estimated a year ago, which was based on global average capital costs for solar and batteries. In many regions, it is more cost-effective than coal ($118/MWh) and far cheaper than nuclear ($182/MWh).
