Solar Photovoltaic System Cost Benchmarks
All costs reported are represented two ways: Minimum Sustainable Price (MSP) and Modeled Market Price (MMP).
The DC conductors are connected to 220 three-phase string inverters, each rated at 10 kW ac, giving the PV system a rated AC power output of 2.2 MW ac, which corresponds to an inverter loading ratio of 1.37. The inverters are made in China in a plant that produces 100,000 of them each year and are subject to 25% import tariff.
The total cost over the service life of the system is amortized to give a levelized cost per year. In the PV System Cost Model (PVSCM), the owner's overnight capital expense (cash cost) for an installed PV system is divided into eight categories, which are the same for the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market segments:
The representative residential PV system (RPV) for 2024 has a rating of 8 kW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%.
Market analysts routinely monitor and report the average cost of PV systems and components, but more detail is needed to understand the impact of recent and future technology developments on cost. Consequently, benchmark systems in the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market sectors are evaluated each year.
All costs reported are represented two ways: Minimum Sustainable Price (MSP) and Modeled Market Price (MMP).
