There is a clear correlation between system costs and installed power. As expected, the PV plant costs decrease with increasing nominal power. For the 33 plants of the investigation, the mean reduction rate is 0.046 EUR/W for the given range of 1.5 kW to 12 kW. construction. 3.2. Germany (cont.)
The construction cost of solar power plants depends on several factors such as location, size of the plant, type of solar panel technology used, and installation costs. For instance, a small photovoltaic autonomous power plant might cost around $1-2 million, while large utility-scale plant could could cost several hundreds of millions.
Recent cost developments, as well as expected future developments, indicate that in a cost-optimal power system, the role of solar photovoltaics should instead be similar to that of wind onshore, which is similarly cheap but so far plays a much more prominent role in the scenarios.
The material and installation costs amounted to USD 13.35 per W at the time of installation (4.80 USD/W for modules and 8.55 USD/W for installation and BOS). The nominal power of the system is 19.8 kW. The plant is monitored in real time on a minute basis.
The year of construction of the PV plants ranges from 1992 to 2006. Over half of the systems (292) are located in the United States. Figure 7 shows a histogram of the plant cost of systems, excluding systems in the USA; 54% of the plants are in the 8 to 12 USD/W range.
The historical data is based on the EPIA Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics and result in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 50 percent between 2000 and 2013. The projections for the near future depicted in Figure 8 are results of diferent mar-ket research institutions as well as contributions by experts at the workshops.
