What backs it

Ember's analysis of 74 climate-vulnerable nations representing 20% of the world's population finds that solar power has reached cost parity with coal and natural gas, making it the more economical choice for electricity-deprived countries for the first time.

Worth noting

The analysis focuses on capital costs and does not address grid infrastructure, storage, or other implementation barriers specific to each nation.
