Cost, Performance and Project Development (2013)
Access the critical cost and performance data + project development insights
you need to optimize profits and get ahead in India’s PV project boom
Purchase this exclusive report and you’ll benefit from the following analysis: Companies interviewed:
}} Comprehensive Site-Specific Performance Data: Determine the energy output of c-Si, a-Si and CulnSe modules
in 24 geographical locations and identify the optimum performance configurations by module and site, including:
- Optimal Inclination (degree)
- GHI (kWh/m2/d)
- Fixed Tracking vs. Single Axis Tracking vs. Two Axis Tracking
}} Levelized Energy Cost (LCOE) Data: Determine the LCOE (Rs./kWh) of c-Si, a-Si and CulnSe modules across the
24 geographical locations, understand exactly how CAPEX fluctuations, discount rates and PV system lifespan impact
upon the LCOE.
}} CAPEX and OPEX Cost Breakdown: Understand the distribution of plant costs in accordance to CAPEX and OPEX,
including (though not restricted to) what proportion of upfront costs are taken up by modules, power converting units
and mounting structures, and what operational expenditure costs are involved in an Indian utility-scale PV plant.
}} Project Development Considerations: Get to grips with all the parameters required to set up a bankable utility-
scale plant including, solar resource, project performance indices, labour considerations, site selection, project
characteristics, risks, and EPC contractors.
}} Plant Walkthrough and Component Guide: Comprehensive information on the activities involved in utility-scale PV
from design and layout, construction and commissioning to operation and maintenance and decommissioning, as well
as in-depth examination of PV technology concepts, components, current status and future trends.
}} Industry Growth Forecasts and Grid Parity Analysis: Understand the year-on-year installed capacity (GW) growth
up to 2020 and pinpoint when grid parity will occur under different learning scenarios.
