Since the initial investment of solar PV appears to be quite high, it has been observed that many researchers have attempted to compute LCC for finding out the economic viability of solar PV systems. Jiang and Zhu (2011) computed the LCC for grid-connected solar Photo Voltaic (PV) systems in Florida, USA.
In the calculation of life cycle cost, all energy produced by the PV system is valued at the same $/kWh rate, so the result would not be accurate when the PV system is off-setting a utility rate dominated by demand or time-of-use charges.
To identify the economically viable photovoltaic systems (Solar Farm, BIPV and Stand-alone) based on its cost and return of investment period. To infuse Life Cycle Cost Analysis as a tool for photovoltaic systems policy development.
Goal and system description. Given the high deployment targets for solar photovoltaics (PV) to meet U.S. decarbonization goals, and the limited carbon budget remaining to limit global temperature rise, accurate accounting of PV system life cycle energy use and greenhouse gas emissions is needed.
Solar energy is one of the common renewable energy (RE) resources in APEC member economies. The development of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology deployment however varies from economies to economies.
The project case studies include three different photovoltaic system which is the solar farm with power capacity more than 1MWp and it is set up on the land, a solar rooftop system with power capacity within the range of 500kWp to 1MWp. While for stand-alone solar system for rural electrification with power capacity less than 100kWp to 500kWp.
