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:
To reduce this financial gap and manage the decrease of PV costs, the Chinese government published the Notice on matters of PV power generation in 2018, which is referred to as the “531” policy, reducing the subsidies for PV from 0.36 CNY/kWh to 0.32 CNY/kWh.
