Solar Energy Surge: How the World’s Cheapest Power Source Is Transforming the Electrical Industry
In October 2025, Energy Live News reported that solar energy has officially become the world’s cheapest source of power, citing groundbreaking research from the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute (ATI). The study revealed that in some of the sunniest parts of the world, the cost of generating solar electricity has fallen to as little as 2p per kilowatt-hour, making it cheaper than fossil fuels for the first time in history.
This milestone isn’t just an energy statistic — it’s a signal of change for the entire construction and electrical sector. Across the UK, electricians, developers, and renewable specialists are preparing for an era defined by solar power, smart grids, and sustainable energy infrastructure. As solar becomes mainstream, the demand for qualified electricians trained in solar PV installation and grid integration is growing faster than ever.
