The total cost over the service life of the system is amortized to give a levelized cost per year. In the PV System Cost Model (PVSCM), the owner's overnight capital expense (cash cost) for an installed PV system is divided into eight categories, which are the same for the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market segments:
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%.
Utility-scale PV systems in the 2024 ATB represent 100-MW DC (74.6-MW AC) one-axis tracking systems with performance and pricing characteristics in line with bifacial modules and a DC-to-AC ratio, or inverter loading ratio (ILR), of 1.34 for the Base Year and future years (Ramasamy et al., 2023).
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.
