Source: Goodrich, 2012. by an 84 MW thin-film PV plant installed in Thailand. The highest for utility-scale PV plants was recorded in Japan (USD 6.50/W), albeit the average project size is lower than in Europe and China. Among the major PV markets, Germany showed the lowest average price at USD 3.64/W for c-Si-based PV plants.
In doing so, we differentiate between the main technologies available on the market. Since 2009, pvXchange has provided a unique price index for the european market, which has become an invaluable industry tool. Today, it is hard to imagine the industry without our price index, trend data, and in-depth analysis and commentary.
The average cost of BOS and installation for PV systems is in the range of USD 1.6 to USD 1.85/W, depending on whether the PV system is ground-mounted or rooftop, and whether it has a tracking system (Bony, 2010 and Photon, 2011). The LCOE of PV systems is therefore highly dependent on BOS and installation costs, which include:
