What is PV and storage cost modeling?
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.
What are the benchmarks for PV and energy storage systems?
The benchmarks in this report are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to PV and energy storage system (ESS) installations. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
How much does a PV system cost in 2023?
Q1 2023 U.S. PV-plus-storage cost benchmarks 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).
How much does a residential PV system cost?
Q1 2022 U.S. benchmark: 7.9-kWdc residential PV system cost (2021 USD/Wdc) This section describes our commercial PV model’s structure and parameters in intrinsic units (Section 6.1) as well as its output (Section 6.2).
How much does a PV system cost per watt?
Our residential MMP benchmark is $2.90 per watt direct current (Wdc). This is 24% higher than the MSP benchmark ($2.34/Wdc) and 9% lower than our previous MMP benchmark ($3.18/Wdc) from Q1 2022, in 2022 U.S. dollars (USD).
What is PV system cost model (pvscm)?
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 PV product components not previously benchmarked. PVSCM can also facilitate sensitivity analysis based on key system parameters in their intrinsic units.
