Quantity of components in the quotation for photovoltaic power generation project

What is the environmental value of PV power generation?

The environmental value of energy conservation and emission reduction of PV power generation can be equated to the value of standard coal consumption and the environmental value of pollutant emissions that are avoided by using PV power generation compared to traditional thermal power generation with the same amount of electricity.

Is there a correlation between PV costs and installed capacity?

Assuming that the market share of PV systems ramps up from 0 to 30 %, that is, a proportional increase in PV installation, the unit investment cost of PV can be decrease by around 70 % . Therefore, the issue of the correlation between the downward trend of PV costs and installed capacity must be taken seriously.

How will PV power generation affect the NPV of a project?

Although the initial investment cost is large, national policies such as tax preferences greatly mitigate the upfront costs, and the green environmental attributes of PV power generation will provide additional income for the project. The NPV of the project will turn from negative to positive over time.

How has the cost of PV generation changed over the years?

Facilitated by continual improvement of battery efficiency and innovation of development models in PV industry, the costs of PV generation have been continuously decreasing and demonstrated considerable commercial competitiveness . In especial, the costs of silicon batteries and PV modules have been reduced by more than 70 % during 2013∼2020.

What is the installed capacity of PV projects in 2020?

According to the data released by the National Renewable Energy Information Center, the installed capacity of household PV projects included in the scale of national financial subsidies in 2020 is 10.12 million KW, accounting for 65% of the new installed capacity of all distributed PV.

Is PV generation economically feasible in China?

By integrating grid costs and balancing costs into conventional LCOE framework, a System LCOE (S-LCOE) model was constructed to evaluate the economic feasibility of PV generation, more accurately. The results revealed that all provincial S-LCOE of China's PV is currently higher than local desulfurized coal electricity price (DCEP).
