For each duration, multiply the value of the energy calculated in step 1 by the marginal energy calculated in step 3. 5. Determine the marginal cost to change duration. This should include the cost of the batteries and balance of plant, such as building/container size, HVAC, and racks. 6.
Large-Scale PV | Union of Concerned Scientists
The cost of large-scale PV, like that of rooftop solar, has dropped dramatically in recent years. Electricity from new large PV projects in 2013 was half as expensive on average as in 2010, bringing their costs much closer to the wholesale prices set by natural gas or other power plant options [ 4 ]. These reductions are driven in large …
