Efficiency Innovations in Polysilicon Production Accelerate Grid Parity
Open Journal of Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development, 2015The solar industry is a diversified set of global markets with all manufacturing stages dispersed worldwide, from production of the raw material polysilicon, to the final product of electricity generated by solar modules. However, recent developments within this global value chain, such as the emergence of large low cost manufacturing capacities ...

BoS costs: status and optimization to reach industrial grid parity
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, 2013ABSTRACTIt is essential to have a complete system overview to optimize photovoltaic (PV) power plants and minimize balance of system (BoS) costs. The described approach leads to a competitive system solution with lower levelized cost of energy (LCoE).

Reaching PV grid parity: LCOE analysis for the Italian framework
22nd International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution (CIRED 2013), 2013In order to reach the EU targets 2020 and the RES development, the significant key idea of the incentives should be allowing each technology to a progressive improvement towards the competitiveness or so-called grid parity. In Italy this process has already started, the first results show that the grid parity could be achieved in a few years, even if ...

Cost and efficiency to achieve grid parity
Qatar Foundation Annual Research Forum Volume 2012 Issue 1, 2012Although direct conversion of solar energy to electricity by photovoltaic cells, or thermal energy in concentrated solar power systems is emerging as a leading contender for next generation green power production, solar energy contribution to a sustainable energy future begins from a much smaller base than oil and natural gas.

Residential solar power heads toward grid parity [News]
IEEE Spectrum, 2013PHOTOVOLTAICS ARE STILL, ON AVERAGE, A PRICEY, subsidy-dependent source of electricity. However, rooftop panels are beginning to beat the grid in a number of jurisdictions with high retail power rates—and their ranks are projected to swell over this decade.

Closing in on the grail of grid parity
Renewable Energy Focus, 2012Cost calculation conundrums part 2: The cost of wind power may vary from region to region, but the best onshore wind farms in the world already produce power as economically as coal, gas and nuclear. And within less than five years, almost all of them will. Gail Rajgor continues her foray into the real costs of renewable energy – looking closer at wind

Grid parity analysis of solar photovoltaic systems in Europe
International Journal of Ambient Energy, 2013Photovoltaic (PV) power generation plays an important role in future sustainable energy mixes due to its high reliability, yield predictability and capacity for electricity production during peak demand when the electricity price is usually high. But still today, the economic viability of this technology depends on the subsidies usually granted by ...

Solar grid parity for Malaysia: Analysis using experience curves
2014 IEEE 8th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO2014), 2014This paper presents experience curve analysis in forecasting future costs of photovoltaic (PV) and hence estimating the grid parity year for Malaysia. Using the historical prices of the PV module and PV system from 2011–2013, the future PV module and system costs for 2014–2030 are extrapolated.
