17. PV Power Plant LCOE Drivers
 Capital cost dominated by PV, BOS, and land
– PV costs driven down per experience curve + technology
– BOS costs reduced by larger plant sizes, experience curve, and
higher panel efficiencies
– Land development costs lowered by panel efficiency and scale
 Capacity factor increased with tracking systems
– Tracking also delivers more energy during peak demand periods
 Cost of capital function of the perceived risk by investors
– Proven technologies and performance lower cost of capital
