The quoted price of a solar power system also includes soft costs that are not evident when looking at a completed installation: permitting, inspections, grid interconnection, taxes, transportation, land acquisition, design work, skilled labor, customer acquisition, overhead, profit margins, etc.
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:
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.
Solar panels only represent a fraction of system costs, and this has been analyzed by the NREL. The November 2021 technical report considers a PV module cost of $0.34 per watt, which is equivalent to:
There are already over 120 PV power plants with a capacity of 10 MW or more (Komoto, 2010). The largest operational solar PV plant is an 100 MW ground-mounted plant in California. The largest building-integrated/roof-mounted system (11.8 MW) is located in Spain (Komoto, 2010).
The cost of the electricity generated by a PV system is determined by the capital cost (CAPEX), the discount rate, the variable costs (OPEX), the level of solar irradiation and the eficiency of the solar cells.

Breaking Down the Price of Solar Power Systems
Residential and commercial solar systems are analyzed based on electricity savings at retail prices, while utility-scale projects are analyzed based on electricity generation at wholesale prices. In other words, smaller systems have a higher cost per watt, but their economic benefit per kWh generated is also higher.
