What are the current costs of photovoltaics?

Typical costs today are around 50 EUR/kWp. These costs are made up largely of labour cost, for which in the future an increased productivity can be expected, yet at the same time a roughly proportional increase in real wages.

How much does PV electricity cost?

The PV electricity costs vary significantly among provinces. In the economically developed eastern provinces, the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. This rate is close to grid parity owing to high grid prices, but the CO 2 mitigation cost is high (456–693 RMB/Mg CO 2).

How are future photovoltaic modules priced?

Based on market scenarios, future prices for photovoltaic modules are estimated to follow the photovoltaic learning curve, where the price per module falls by roughly 20 percent with each duplication in the total number of modules produced.

How much will PV electricity cost in China by 2015?

According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.

How much do solar PV crystalline modules cost?

The cost of solar PV crystalline modules fell from approximately $2 USD per Watt-peak (Wp) in 2009, to $1.28 USD/Wp in 2011, representing a decline of 20% annually . Although some analyses forecast lower global prices for PV modules after 2008, most estimates still exceeded the actual prices .

What is the critical cost range for photovoltaics?

Initial analysis performed at Fraunhofer ISE suggest that the critical cost range is 0.1 to 0.2 EUR/Wp. This suggestion was widely supported by the industry experts at the workshops.
