By muting the impacts of policy distortions and short-term market fluctuations, the new minimum sustainable price (MSP) benchmarks provide an effective basis for long-term PV cost analysis. However, they do not represent dynamic market conditions and should not be used for near-term policy or market analysis.
Electricity price volatility has a noticeable impact on the cycling behaviors of energy storage systems. Higher levels of price volatility contribute to greater opportunities for profit generation by effectively utilizing energy storage systems.
Benchmark PV operations and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated using a model (Walker et al. 2020) that provides a line-item cost estimate of measures that correspond to the PV O&M services described in Best Practices for Operation and Maintenance of Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems, 3rd Edition (NREL et al. 2018).
Inverter – The cost to the installer of equipment for converting direct current (dc) to alternating current (ac), as delivered. Energy Storage System (ESS) – The cost to the installer of adding an energy storage system, as delivered.
