What are the current costs of photovoltaics?

Typical costs today are around 50 EUR/kWp. These costs are made up largely of labour cost, for which in the future an increased productivity can be expected, yet at the same time a roughly proportional increase in real wages.

What are the largest cost components of photovoltaics?

The two largest cost components of photovoltaics are mounting with approx. 75 EUR/kWp and grid connection with approx. 60 EUR/kWp. Installation and DC-cabling each cost around 50 EUR/kWp and infrastructure around 40 EUR/kWp.

How are future photovoltaic modules priced?

Based on market scenarios, future prices for photovoltaic modules are estimated to follow the photovoltaic learning curve, where the price per module falls by roughly 20 percent with each duplication in the total number of modules produced.

How much LCOE does a solar PV system have?

Utility PV systems were benchmarked to have an LCOE of approximately 5 cents/kWh in 2020 (Feldman, Ramasamy et al. 2021). To achieve the 2030 SunShot goal, the lifetime economics of PV systems must be improved across multiple dimensions.

What is the critical cost range for photovoltaics?

Initial analysis performed at Fraunhofer ISE suggest that the critical cost range is 0.1 to 0.2 EUR/Wp. This suggestion was widely supported by the industry experts at the workshops.

When will photovoltaics achieve full cost competitiveness?

Under non-optimal conditions, photovoltaics will achieve full cost competitiveness by 2050 at the latest. Cost competitiveness will thus be achieved under optimal conditions before 2025. The cost of electricity produced in conventional, large-scale power plants typically ranges between 5 and 10 ct/kWh.
