#U s. Distributed Solar Prices Fell 10 to 20 Percent in 2014, with Trends Continuing into 2015 The installed price of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems in the United states continues to fall precipitously.
This is according to the latest edition of Tracking the Sun, an annual PV cost tracking report produced by the Department of energy Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Installed prices for residential and small nonresidential systems completed in 2014 were $0. 40-per-watt (W) lower,
and prices for large nonresidential systems were $0. 70/W lower, than in the prior year. his marked the fifth consecutive year of significant price reductions for distributed PV systems in the U s.,
notes Galen Barbose of Berkeley Lab Electricity Markets and Policy Group, the report lead author.
Within the first six months of 2015, installed prices within a number of large state markets fell by an additional $0. 20 to $0. 50/W,
or 6 to 13 percent, maintaining the steady pace of solar price declines in recent years.
The continued decline in PV system pricing is given especially noteworthy the relatively stable price of PV modules since 2012.
The report attributes recent system price declines, instead, to reductions in solar oftcosts. These include such things as marketing and customer acquisition
and the report suggests that these efforts are partly responsible for recent price declines. The report also highlights the tremendous variability in PV system pricing.
Among residential systems installed in 2014, for example, 20 percent sold for less than $3. 50/W,
the report finds substantial heterogeneity in pricing, and suggests that ow-price leadersin these states can serve as a benchmark for installed price reductions that could be achieved more broadly.
In Arizona, for example, 20 percent of residential installers had median prices at or below $3. 00/W in 2014, compared to the median price of $4. 30/W across all U s. residential systems in 2014.
The report examines various other drivers for PV system prices such as system size, the state in which the system is installed,
whether it is owned by the site host or a third party, whether it is installed in new construction or on existing buildings,
whether the site host is a for-profit commercial or tax-exempt entity, the module efficiency level,
whether the system uses a microinverter or a standard string inverter, and whether the system is installed on a rooftop
To varying degrees, these many factors are all found to impact PV system prices. As Barbose stresses
