Solar PV modules based on 210mm cells produce the best levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and deliver improved balance of system (BOS) costs, according to an evaluation conducted by independent advisory DNV GL.
The new episode of the Solar Media Podcast is out now, as Liam Stoker and Andy Colthorpe try to make sense of the US election result and what President-Elect Joe Biden may do for the green economy.
The cost of generating energy from utility-scale solar and wind continues to decline and maintain competitiveness with the marginal cost existing fossil fuel-powered plants.
The levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar in the UK could fall to just £28/MWh by 2040, according to new projections published by the country’s government.
PV Tech continues its deep-dive into the making of Trina Solar’s new Vertex platform, delving into the thought process behind the manufacturer’s ‘low voltage, high current’ approach, how Trina intends to scale up manufacturing, and why it believes the solar supply chain must unite behind 600W+ modules.
Inverter failures and the prevalence of auction-based mechanisms for large-scale solar projects are placing pressure on solar operations and maintenance (O&M) prices, a new report from Wood Mackenzie has found.
This month’s episode of the Solar Media Podcast is now available to listen to, with discussion centring around record low solar prices and tumbling LCOE forecasts.
PV, onshore wind new-builds already the most competitive option for two-thirds of global population, BNEF review finds as lockdown dynamics unlock surge of cheap clean power.
Costs have tumbled to such an extent that new-build LCOEs are catching up with marginal costs of non-renewables, says firm in update that finds storage is too becoming more competitive.
