• Source states: "...significant historical cost declines for utility-scale renewable energy generation technologies driven by, among other factors, decreasing capital costs, improving technologies and increased competition".
• Source states: "The LCOE no longer analyzes solar thermal costs", explaining why the "Solar towers" trace stops in 2019.

• Suggested caption:

With increasingly widespread implementation of renewable energy sources, costs have declined, most notably for energy generated by solar panels.[cite]

Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is a measure of the average net present cost of electricity generation for a generating plant over its lifetime.
