It costs 2.3 times more to operate internal combustion engine vehicles than electric vehicles, says a survey conducted in Ghana.
Under the Ghana Mini Grid and Solar Photovoltaic Net Metering Project, 12,000 net-metered solar PV systems will be installed for public institutions, small and medium-sized businesses, and selected households. The grant will be used to install capacities of up to 67.5 MW.
On-grid commissioned and planned utility-scale solar PV projects between 2014 and 2018 in Africa range from around USD 1.2 to USD 4.9/W (USD 1 200 to 4 900/kW). Although Africa is currently home to a very small set of utility-scale solar PV projects, costs have been declining over time.
The report presents the data that IRENA was able to collect for solar PV costs in Africa. The data for utility-scale projects from the IRENA Renewable Cost Database9 were the starting point for the creation of a wider dataset that encompasses the SHS and mini-grid market segments as well.
Solar PV module costs for these systems were between USD 0.8 and USD 2.8/W for seven of the projects, but USD 6.3/W for one project. Inverter costs ranged from a low of USD 0.163/W, which is very close to utility-scale costs for string or central inverters, and a high of USD 2.2/W. Other hardware costs ranged from a
For the data available for sub-1 kW SHS in Africa, average costs are around USD 2/Amp-hour (Ah) for battery storage capacities of 20 Ah to 220 Ah. This translates into costs of USD 2.1 and USD 6.8/W for the battery and charge controllers, depending on the battery and SHS size combination.
