On average, solar panels cost $8.77 per square foot of living space, after factoring in the 30% tax credit. However, the cost per square foot varies based on the size of the home. For example, the post-tax credit cost of solar panels for a 2,500-square-foot home is around $20,000 for a rate of $7.96 per square foot.
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:
The premium is €280 (€1,680 in total) for an installation generating 3kWp to 9kWp. In summary then, for a 3kWp photovoltaic installation where you sell the surplus to EDF, you receive €1,140 (i.e. €380 x 3) and 10 cents/kWh for the surplus electricity sold to EDF.
However, as a rule of thumb, the French energy management agency 'ADEME' considers the cost to be €3,000 to €4,500 per kilowatt of power created. As most domestic installations generate around 3k/W of power, this means the cost of the panels themselves is €9,000 to €13,000. For 6 k/W of power expect to pay €16,000 to €19,000
According to a 2022 report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, installation labor accounts for around 5.5% of the total cost of a residential solar project. For a $25,000 solar project, this amounts to $1,375.
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.
