The average cost of BOS and installation for PV systems is in the range of USD 1.6 to USD 1.85/W, depending on whether the PV system is ground-mounted or rooftop, and whether it has a tracking system (Bony, 2010 and Photon, 2011). The LCOE of PV systems is therefore highly dependent on BOS and installation costs, which include:
The capital cost of a PV system is composed of the PV module cost and the Balance of system (BOS) cost. The PV module is the interconnected array of PV cells and its cost is determined by raw material costs, notably silicon prices, cell processing/manufacturing and module assembly costs.
The LCOE of current utility-scale thin-film PV systems was estimated to be between USD 0.26 and USD 0.59/kWh in 2011 for thin-film systems. 5. Despite the large LCOE range, PV is often already competitive with residential tariffs in regions with good solar resources, low PV system costs and high electricity tariffs for residential consumers.
The highest for utility-scale PV plants was recorded in Japan (USD 6.50/W), albeit the average project size is lower than in Europe and China. Among the major PV markets, Germany showed the lowest average price at USD 3.64/W for c-Si-based PV plants.
Later on, rapid depletion of conventional energy sources, environmental concern, high energy demand have forced the researcher to investigate the PV technology for large scale energy generation and application both in stand-alone and grid-connected (without storage) configuration.
These variations reflect the maturity of domestic markets, local labour and manufacturing costs, incentive levels and structures, and a range of other factors. At an average of USD 3.8/W for c-Si systems, Germany has the lowest PV system costs in the small-scale residential market (<5 kW).
