Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%). For newly commissioned onshore wind projects, the global weighted average LCOE fell by 3% year-on-year; whilst for offshore wind, the cost of electricity of new projects decreased by 7% compared to 2022.
Over the past 40 years, solar photovoltaic (PV) prices have fallen by over two orders of magnitude, and during the period 2010 to 2021, the global weighted-average levelized cost of energy of newly commissioned utility-scale solar PVs fell by 88% (ref. 5), making solar PVs cheaper than fossil fuel power in some parts of the world.
In 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office set a goal to reduce the unsubsidized levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of utility-scale photovoltaics (PV) to 3 cents/kWh by 2030. Utility PV systems were benchmarked to have an LCOE of approximately 5 cents/kWh in 2020 (Feldman, Ramasamy et al. 2021).
Utility PV systems were benchmarked to have an LCOE of approximately 5 cents/kWh in 2020 (Feldman, Ramasamy et al. 2021). To achieve the 2030 SunShot goal, the lifetime economics of PV systems must be improved across multiple dimensions.
Both show negative solar PV premiums ranging from -2% to -2.7%, which means that we calculate a financing cost for solar PV that is below the financing cost for the government, i.e., a 10-year government bond. While there may be cases where this is plausible, it is unlikely for Brazil and China.
Modelling shows that a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain has resulted in photovoltaic installation cost savings of billions of dollars.
