Customer ServiceOver the past 20 years advances in technology have led to an impressive reduction in the cost of photovoltaic modules and other components, increasing efficiency and significantly improving both the reliability and yield of the system, resulting in reduced electricity prices.
As discussed above, photovoltaic components, especially photovoltaic modules, are required to have. At present, these requirements are best met by crystalline silicon modules. These modules currently have an efficiency of 16–22%. The trend of increasing the efficiency of mass-produced PV modules is demonstrated in Figure 7.
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 photovoltaic system is usually divided into photovoltaic modules and other BOS (balance of system) components, which is a legacy from the time when photovoltaic modules accounted for the largest part of the cost of a photovoltaic power plant. Figure 3. A simplified scheme of the PV system.
