4 FAQs about Large-scale price reduction for outdoor photovoltaic cabinets used in field operations

Who are the authors of solar photovoltaic system cost benchmark 2021?

Feldman, David, Vignesh Ramasamy, Ran Fu, Ashwin Ramdas, Jal Desai, and Robert Margolis. 2021. U.S. Solar Photovoltaic System Cost Benchmark: Q1 2020. Golden, CO: National Renewable Energy Laboratory. NREL/TP-6A20-77324.

Do hardware and non-hardware features reduce the cost of solar photovoltaics?

The cost of solar photovoltaics has declined over the past two decades, but the driving mechanisms are not fully understood. Now, researchers examine the role of hardware and non-hardware features in cost reduction of photovoltaics and develop a model that could be used to understand cost reductions for other energy technologies.

How does technology affect the cost of solar PV systems?

The findings show that advances in hardware features made the largest contribution to the overall cost reduction of solar PVs. The reduction in the soft costs has also been primarily driven by hardware improvements: more practical system designs might speed up installation, reducing labour or permit costs.

Can trade policies and globalized supply chains reduce solar PV costs?

For instance, while recent research draws attention to the role of trade policies and globalized supply chains in affording the world low-cost solar PV panels manufactured in China, individual country tariffs and domestic manufacturing could increase future costs, reducing the cost benefits of globalized markets 7.
