How do market analysts evaluate the cost of PV systems?Market analysts routinely monitor and report the average cost of PV systems and components, but more detail is needed to understand the impact of recent and future technology developments on cost. Consequently, benchmark systems in the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market sectors are evaluated each year.
How many inverters does a PV system use?The DC cables are connected to 19 utility-scale central inverters, each rated at 4 MW ac, giving the PV system a rated AC power output of 76 MW ac, which corresponds to an inverter loading ratio of 1.32. The inverters are made in Europe in a plant that produces 250 of them each year. These inverters are not subject to import tariffs.
Does origis energy have a 350MW solar portfolio?Origis Energy has secured a financing package from MUFG to support the development of a 350MW solar portfolio in the US. Lab-tested solar module performance has improved over the last year, according to data from US-based technical advisory firm RETC.
How will tariffs affect energy storage costs?Tariffs on imports from China are expected to greatly affect energy storage costs, and a 90-day pause in mid-May gave the industry a temporary reprieve. The Wood Mackenzie report notes that the United States is heavily dependent on battery cells to serve the burgeoning market for utility-scale battery energy storage Systems.
