The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar photovoltaic (PV) has continued to decline worldwide in 2024, according to the latest report by consultancy Wood Mackenzie. The global average LCOE of fixed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in 2024 reached $66/MWh (€61/MWh), with a range between $28/MWh and $117/MWh (€26/MWh and €108/MWh). The price difference is … Continue reading For WoodMac, the global average LCOE of photovoltaic (PV) reaches €55.5/MWh in 2024, compared to €40/MWh according to IRENA for 2023

Photovoltaic production chain costs fall in the international market
The price was reduced due to high production planning and increased inventories. InfoLink Consulting’s weekly newsletter on the behavior of costs in the photovoltaic production chain records the drop in wafer prices, with emphasis on 210 mm Type P, which fell 3.4% in the last week: from US$ 0.349 to US$ 0.337 per piece. The … Continue reading Photovoltaic production chain costs fall in the international market

Solar power and on-shore wind energy provide cheapest electricity and nuclear most expensive
Estimates show small modular nuclear reactors would provide most expensive power and will not be available until 2030.Electricity generated by solar and on-shore wind is the cheapest in Australia, even after the significant expense of integrating them into the power grid is factored in, according to new analysis from the CSIRO. Estimates of costs to … Continue reading Solar power and on-shore wind energy provide cheapest electricity and nuclear most expensive

Cost of Concentrated solar power (CSP) projects fell from USD 0.38/kWh to USD 0.118/kWh – a decline of 69%
Concentrated solar power (CSP) saw its global weighted?average LCOE fall from 591% higher than the cheapest fossil fuel option in 2010 to 71% higher in 2022. Concentrated solar power (CSP) deployment remains disappointing, with less than 0.1 GW added in 2022 and global cumulative capacity standing at 6.5 GW at the end of 2022. For … Continue reading Cost of Concentrated solar power (CSP) projects fell from USD 0.38/kWh to USD 0.118/kWh – a decline of 69%

Why invest in Concentrating Solar Power?
Why is Bill Gates backing a Concentrated Solar Power company? What is oil major ENI doing with a CSP start-up? Why has Zurich airport agreed to purchase aviation fuel from a solar thermal company? Why are investors purchasing operating Concentrating Solar Power plants? Many investors have written-off CSP in favour of investments PV and wind. This … Continue reading Why invest in Concentrating Solar Power?

Protermosolar confirms that in 2030 the contribution of renewables to electricity generation in Spain could be 84% at a cost of less than € 5c / kWh
Protermosolar incorporates the 2018 data to its report and corroborates the importance of concentrated solar power in electrical decarbonization. The balanced distribution between photovoltaic and concentrated solar power would allow to supply the demand also at night and reduce the amount of discharges, all at a lower cost than the current one. The study is … Continue reading Protermosolar confirms that in 2030 the contribution of renewables to electricity generation in Spain could be 84% at a cost of less than € 5c / kWh

Photovoltaic reduces costs
China’s large PV market share is mostly involved with technologies that are well-established. Many PV module manufacturers have the ability to buy turnkey production lines. And while China’s PV manufacturers get a lot of respect for what they do, their well-established product dumping policies result in production with not a lot of gross margin, if … Continue reading Photovoltaic reduces costs
