In this case, the cost advantage of solar PV could be further amplified. The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China.
The benchmarks are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to typical PV and energy storage system configurations and installation practices. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
All the other choices could also help enhance the matching of demand with solar supply, potentially reducing the storage capacity needed in the solar-plus-storage system. In this case, the cost advantage of solar PV could be further amplified.
The evolution of the solar PV industry so far has been remarkable, with several milestones achieved in recent years in terms of installations (including off-grid), cost reductions and technological advancements, as well as establishment of key solar energy associations (Figure 5).
This year, we introduce a new PV and storage cost modeling approach. The PV System Cost Model (PVSCM) was developed by SETO and NREL to make the cost benchmarks simpler and more transparent, while expanding to cover components not previously benchmarked.
The total volume of investment in solar PV is being heavily influenced by the technology’s falling costs. It rose steadily from USD 120 billion in 2013 to reach record high levels of USD 179 billion in 2015 as deployment accelerated faster than falling costs.
