This translates to a range of $2.06– $12.37/kW/year, and a benchmark value of $3.44/kW/yr. for a 200-kW commercial rooftop system and $1.17–$7.02/kW/year, and a benchmark value of $1.95/kW/yr. for a 100 MW utility-scale single-axis tracking system.

Because AC-coupled systems have independent PV and battery systems with separate inverters, this hybrid configuration enables redundancy. For instance, if the battery-based inverter fails to operate, the PV system could operate independently as long as the grid is up. Total System Cost = $311.28*P + $300.24*P*H with an R squared value of 99.8.
These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs and guide SETO research and development programs. Read more to find out how these cost benchmarks are modeled and download the data and cost modeling program below.
