Table 9 illustrates the varying degrees of PV cost reduction projected for the conservative, moderate, and advanced scenarios by 2030. The CPV costs are expected to decrease by 9.30, 12.48, and 32.98% under the three scenarios, respectively, as the market expands further.

The decrease of unit investment cost plays a positive role in improving the economic performance of distributed PV. For each 0.5 yuan/W decrease in unit investment cost, the average LCOE of electricity consumption dropped by 6.14%, and the average IRR increased by 1.42%.

In 2023, an estimated 96% of newly installed, utility-scale solar PV and onshore wind capacity had lower generation costs than new coal and natural gas plants. In addition, three-quarters of new wind and solar PV plants offered cheaper power than existing fossil fuel facilities.

Despite increases in investment costs due to rising commodity prices, utility-scale solar PV is the least costly option for new electricity generation in a significant majority of countries worldwide. Distributed solar PV, such as rooftop solar on buildings, is also set for faster growth because of higher retail electricity prices and growing .

5 FAQs about [Proportion of distributed photovoltaic support cost]

Is distributed photovoltaic (PV) a good investment?

Except 100% grid-connected mode, the IRR of distributed PV power plants in three areas is higher than 8% which has shown good economic benefits. As subsidies continue to fall, the technology and cost performance of distributed photovoltaic (PV) determines the progress of its grid parity.

Does a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain save money?

Modelling shows that a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain has resulted in photovoltaic installation cost savings of billions of dollars.

Does China need a centralized and distributed photovoltaic system?

Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.

Do rooftop distributed PV projects need structural suitability?

For rooftop distributed PV projects, assessing the structural suitability of the roof is critical .

Can photovoltaic development contribute to China's CO2 mitigation goals?

A five-dimensional assessment estimated China's PV feasibility and CO 2 mitigation. China has 416,383.27 TWh/yr CPV potential and 28,261.53 TWh/yr DPV potential. China's CPV and DPV are at a critical point: the LCOE is close to the feed-in tariff. Photovoltaic development can contribute to China's carbon reduction goals.
