6 FAQs about [Solar power price parity]

What is solar PV Grid parity?

Solar photovoltaics (PV) ‘grid parity’ has come into view since 2010. As currently conceived, grid parity is considered the tipping point of the cost effectiveness of solar PV technology, at which point it can be ensured that solar PV power generation is competing with conventional power supplies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

How does PV cost affect grid parity?

The price of PV is furthermore impacted by the continuous development and increasing installed capacity of PV. Therefore, a quantitative understanding of the timeline for PV cost is an important aspect to consider in discussions about grid parity.

How does grid parity affect solar power generation?

On the one hand, grid parity can promote technological progress in solar photovoltaic power generation, promote the reduction of solar photovoltaic power generation cost, and reduce the policy cost of solar photovoltaic power generation.

How is grid parity estimated?

Grid parity is estimated using a new approach of system LCOE and learning curve. The impacts of system LCOE and electricity price on grid parity are investigated. The additional grid integration costs amount for 15% of total PV system costs. Grid parity from a system LCOE perspective will be achieved between 2020 and 2032.

Can cities achieve solar PV 'Grid parity' without subsidies?

We reveal that all of these cities can achieve—without subsidies—solar PV electricity prices lower than grid-supplied prices, and around 22% of the cities’ solar generation electricity prices can compete with desulfurized coal benchmark electricity prices. Solar photovoltaics (PV) ‘grid parity’ has come into view since 2010.

When will solar PV systems reach grid parity in China?

Finally, the PV systems in different regions in China are expected to achieve grid parity between 2020 and 2032. In other words, within the next decade, grid parity of solar PV systems in China is forecasted to be achieved.
