This hike is explained by the drop in the price of solar equipment, such as panels and inverters. According to a previous report by National Observer, costs have plunged by 70 per cent in the last four years and are expected to continue falling 40 per cent more by 2020.
Scientists and manufacturers are taking advantage of this positive environment and are letting their creativity shine. They've come up with cool inventions to help people with disabilities, as well as to support those who can't live with their cell phones on 'low bat.'
