The representative residential PV system (RPV) for 2024 has a rating of 8 kW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%.
Unlike most PV cost studies that report values solely in dollars per watt, SETO's PV system cost benchmark reports values using intrinsic units for each component. For example, the cost of a mounting structure is given in dollars per square meter of modules supported by that structure.
The representative commercial PV system for 2024 is an agrivoltaics system (APV) designed for land that is also used for grazing sheep. The system has a power rating of 3 MW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 2.57 m 2 and a rated power of 530 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 20.6%.
These bottom-up models capture the impacts of economies of scale, efficiency, location, system design, and company structure on total costs. NLR uses these insights to develop roadmaps for future cost reductions and to provide context for cost variability observed in the market.
