Global weighted average electricity capacity factors for CSP plants rose 66 % from 2011 to 2021. Global weighted average LCoE for CSP fell 68 % from $0.31/kWh in 2010 to $0.10/kWh in 2022. Capital costs for CSP fell 50 % in the last decade to $3000–11000/kW. Adding 6–15 h of thermal storage at $20–60/kW is now considered economical.

Customer ServiceDespite the impressive declines in PV system costs, the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV remains high. The LCOE of residential systems without storage assuming a 10% cost of capital was in the range USD 0.25 and USD 0.65/kWh in 2011. When electricity storage is added, the cost range increases to USD 0.36 and USD 0.71/kWh.

Customer ServiceThe 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:
This year, we introduce a new PV and storage cost modeling approach. The PV System Cost Model (PVSCM) was developed by SETO and NREL to make the cost benchmarks simpler and more transparent, while expanding to cover components not previously benchmarked.
The benchmarks in this report are bottom-up cost estimates of all major inputs to PV and energy storage system (ESS) installations. Bottom-up costs are based on national averages and do not necessarily represent typical costs in all local markets.
The costs of materials, equipment, facilities, energy, and labor associated with each step in the production process are individually modeled. Input data for this analysis method are collected through primary interviews with PV manufacturers and material and equipment suppliers.
The thermal energy storage system is the main driver for the high flexibility of CSP systems. Primarily due to the stochasticity of the solar resource, CSP plants without storage operate with capacity factors in the range of 22–28 %, depending on technology and location .
The capital cost of a PV system is composed of the PV module cost and the Balance of system (BOS) cost. The PV module is the interconnected array of PV cells and its cost is determined by raw material costs, notably silicon prices, cell processing/manufacturing and module assembly costs.
