These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs and guide SETO research and development programs. Read more to find out how these cost benchmarks are modeled and download the data and cost modeling program below.
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 commercial solar battery storage system is loaded with cell modules, PCS, photovoltaic controller (MPPT) (optional), EMS management system, fire protection system, temperature control system and monitoring system. The system configuration is modular, support multi-machine parallel, plug and play, easy to install and maintenance.
Configured with a rack-mounted modular PCS, it supports parallel connection of multiple machines and has good scalability; the number of PCS modules and the total battery power can be selected according to the solar energy thermal storage system capacity requirements of microgrid and other scenarios.
