Buckley said price pressure will increase due to the staggering capacity increases announced by the PV industry at the global level, although he questioned a recent forecast by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in its recent World Energy Outlook 2023, which claimed thaT the world's cumulative installed solar capacity could reach 2 TW by 2025.
We are in the midst of a year-long acceleration in the decline of battery cell prices, a trend that is reminiscent of recent solar cell price reductions. Since last summer, lithium battery cell pricing has plummeted by approximately 50%, according to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), the world’s largest battery manufacturer.
However, supply chain disruptions in 2021 are affecting the availability and price of PV products in an uptrend which means that for 2022 prices for BoS are likely to increase as well.
In early summer 2023, publicly available prices ranged from 0.8 to 0.9 RMB/Wh ($0.11 to $0.13 USD/Wh), or about $110 to 130/kWh. Pricing initially fell by about a third by the end of summer 2023. Now, as reported by CnEVPost, large EV battery buyers are acquiring cells at 0.4 RMB/Wh, representing a price decline of 50%to 56%.
However, in 2022, difficulties in the global solar market will continue and panels plus the inverter system could compete with the energy storage kit in price. Due to supply chain disruptions in 2021, the availability and price of PV products are in an uptrend, therefore prices for BoS in 2022 are likely to increase as well.
The battery storage market has been experiencing fast growth over the last few years, reducing progressively the costs of battery storage systems. However, the price that the batteries occupy in the cost breakdown of an entire PV system might continue to be the highest compared to the other components in 2022.
Batteries: The Greenflation Challenge
Moreover, ever-increasing demand, component shortages and rising raw material prices are now challenging the long-standing consensus that battery prices will continue to decline in the coming decade. To assess the impact of this "Greenflation" and potential supply chain bottlenecks ahead, we introduce our proprietary battery pack price and cost . curve model, supply-demand …
