NREL is out with a new report on the expected benefit from the ITC extension. It is no surprise that at least 20GW of additional solar will be built by 2022 which would not have happened without the ITC. Without data on my end, I think that number may be quite light considering where the report saw LCOE for solar in 2020 ($50/Mwh). Research has a difficult time understanding the pressures of competitive markets at times and solar is quite competitive these days.
