Photovoltaic system costs encompass both module and BOS costs. Module costs typically represents only 40-60 % of total PV system costs. Typically the cost of installing a photovoltaic system having a power of 10 kW was about 1,600 €/kWp and cost of 100 kW was about 1,400 €/kWp in 2013 [1] .
Some important terms related to photovoltaic system economics are presented herein. The most important PV economic parameters are the total costs of installing a PV system, electricity price, Feed-In tariffs and the energy payback time - EPBT.
The most important PV economic parameters are the total costs of installing a PV system, electricity price, Feed-In tariffs and the energy payback time - EPBT. Investments into renewable energies, particular into PV and wind technologies are another economics related area.
Facilitated by continual improvement of battery efficiency and innovation of development models in PV industry, the costs of PV generation have been continuously decreasing and demonstrated considerable commercial competitiveness . In especial, the costs of silicon batteries and PV modules have been reduced by more than 70 % during 2013∼2020.
By integrating grid costs and balancing costs into conventional LCOE framework, a System LCOE (S-LCOE) model was constructed to evaluate the economic feasibility of PV generation, more accurately. The results revealed that all provincial S-LCOE of China's PV is currently higher than local desulfurized coal electricity price (DCEP).
Yet, soft costs — the non-hardware expenses for solar PV installations, such as connection and permit fees — have represented a growing share of total costs, even as solar PVs have become more widespread and affordable. The mechanisms underlying the changes in soft costs over time remain not fully understood.
