U.S. Solar Photovoltaic System and Energy Storage Cost
Acknowledgments Because our Q1 2023 benchmarking methods required more direct input from the photovoltaic (PV) and storage industries, this year we engaged with more expert
The economics of energy systems are changing, and solar PV and storage are expected to grow rapidly in the U.S. and globally. But these are only two options in the overall portfolio of new energy sources needed to transition the world to a more sustainable future.
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.
Our operations and maintenance (O&M) analysis breaks costs into various categories and provides total annualized O&M costs. The MSP results for PV systems (in units of 2022 real USD/kWdc/yr) are $28.78 (residential), $39.83 (community solar), and $16.12 (utility-scale).
The European solar PV market is estimated to value more than USD 134.5 billion by 2035, augmented by accelerated adoption of smart grid technologies and robust corporate investments in renewable energy targets. Enhanced energy storage solutions and streamlined permitting processes for solar projects will drive market expansion.
