Grid parity with Domestic electricity price is not that far away.

Solar will achieve grid parity in a year or two.

How long do we have to wait before solar technology reaches grid parity'?

One year on, has there been any progress in the pursuit of grid parity for solar energy?

Or has the pressure on subsidies pushed the arrival of grid parity further back?

The answer of course is Solar Technology will likely never meet grid parity.

Hawaii was the first state in the country to reach grid parity for photovoltaics.

This point is commonly referred to as grid parity.

In the example above, grid parity has been reached in Nagano.

The low average cost of electricity makes Idaho one of the last states in the country to reach grid parity.

The worldwide distribution of solar parks is expected to change as different regions achieve grid parity.

It is widely believed that a wholesale shift in generation to these forms of energy will take place when they reach grid parity.

As to when grid parity arrives, boringly it comes down mainly to discount rates.

Recently costs have declined strongly towards grid parity, where it is becoming a viable source of mainstream power.

Reaching grid parity is considered to be the point at which an energy source becomes a contender for widespread development without subsidies or government support.

The ultimate goal of solar-power advocates is "grid parity".

The first places to reach grid parity were those with high traditional electricity prices and high levels of solar radiation.

With Solyndra failing and solar technology being highly subsidised, how long to go before we achieve grid parity?

My understanding of Jeremy's bet was 'retail parity' not grid parity.

Ah, a sensible discussion about grid parity.

This point is sometimes called 'wholesale grid parity' or 'busbar parity'.

Nevertheless, a significant amount of the wind power resource in North America remains above grid parity due to the long transmission distances involved.

Grid parity also applies to wind power where it varies according to wind quality and existing distribution infrastructure.

When it does achieve grid parity we can expect that take up will be extremely rapid - why would it not be otherwise?

Some argue that grid parity has been reached in Hawaii and other islands that otherwise use diesel fuel to produce electricity.

This situation is sometimes called 'retail grid parity', 'socket parity' or 'dynamic grid parity'.

Grid parity (or socket parity) occurs when an alternative energy source can generate electricity at a levelized cost (LCoE) that is less than or equal to the price of purchasing power from the electricity grid.
