U.S. Solar Photovoltaic System and Energy Storage Cost
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) publishes benchmark reports that disaggregate photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage (battery) system installation costs to inform
Our operations and maintenance (O&M) analysis breaks costs into various categories and provides total annualized O&M costs. The MSP results for PV systems (in units of 2022 real USD/kWdc/yr) are $28.78 (residential), $39.83 (community solar), and $16.12 (utility-scale).
In general, the payback time can range from 5 to 10 years. However, it depends on several factors, such as the initial cost of the system, available incentives, rebates, the cost of electricity where you live, and the amount of PV solar electricity you can store and use.
The DC conductors are connected to 220 three-phase string inverters, each rated at 10 kW ac, giving the PV system a rated AC power output of 2.2 MW ac, which corresponds to an inverter loading ratio of 1.37. The inverters are made in China in a plant that produces 100,000 of them each year and are subject to 25% import tariff.
The current MSP benchmarks for PV systems in 2022 real USD are $28.78/kWdc/yr (residential), $39.83/kWdc/yr (community solar), and $16.12/kWdc/yr (utility-scale, single-axis tracking). For MMP, the current benchmarks are $30.36/kWdc/yr (residential), $40.51/kWdc/yr (community solar), and $16.58/kWdc/yr (utility-scale, single-axis tracking).
