Other countries 4 In this report, the term “cost structures” refers to the individual cost components that contribute to the total installed costs of a solar PV system (e.g., modules, inverters, racking and mounting, cabling, installation costs, permitting fees, system design costs, etc.).
The grid-connected mini-grids with battery storage exhibit higher installed costs, in the range of USD 2.4 to USD 5/W. They have battery costs of between USD 0.6 and USD 2.4/W depending on the size of the battery, scale of project and location. Solar PV module prices for these systems vary from a competitive USD 0.6/W to a high
The cost range was between USD 3.4 and USD 6.9/W in 2012, declining to USD 2.4 to USD 5.5/W in 2013 and to USD 2 to USD 4.9/W in 2014 (Figure ES 1). For 2015 to 2016, the cost range is anticipated to be between USD 1.3/W and USD 4.1/W.
South Africa, with its strong civil engineering sector and large renewable independent power producer (IPP) programme (which provides investor certainty), has the lowest installed cost for an operating solar PV plant (around USD 1.4/W for the best project) on the continent for the data available. Other countries
It would be expected that the earlier stages of these projects would have a higher average cost than the final stage, but no data on this are available. to USD 1.4/W at the lower end for both small (<40 MW) and large projects (80-100 MW).
Battery costs varied widely, depending on the size of the battery and the project, from a low of USD 0.1/W to USD 4.1/W for the most expensive. For mini-grids without batteries, solar PV modules account for 11-64% of total installed costs, and the simple average is around 44% (Figure 32).
