Are solar PV installations eligible for government rebates?
Once accredited with the Clean Energy Council, solar PV installations are eligible for government rebates such as Small-scale Technology Certificates and feed-in tarifs.
What is the global weighted-average LCOE for solar PV projects?
Fig. 5 shows the variation of the global weighted-average LCOE for solar PV projects since 2010. It is seen that the global weighted-average LCOE of solar PV technology reduced by about 89 % from 0.445 USD/kWh in 2010 to 0.049 USD/kWh in 2022.
Is solar PV a competitive source of new power generation capacity?
Solar PV is emerging as one of the most competitive sources of new power generation capacity after a decade of dramatic cost declines. A decline of 74% in total installed costs was observed between 2010 and 2018 (Figure 10).
How many GW DC of photovoltaics are installed in 2023?
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that in 2023, 407–446 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of photovoltaics (PV) was installed globally, bringing cumulative PV installs to 1.6 terawatts direct current (TW dc). China continues to dominate the global market, representing ~60% of 2023 installs, up 120% year-over-year (y/y).
