 My paper A Financial Worksheet for Computing the Cost (US˘/kWh) of Solar Electricity Generated at Grid Connected Photovoltaic (PV) Generating Plants was published in the Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, August, 2002, Vol. 124, Page 319. You can now download my article directly from the Journal of Solar Energy Engineering web site. There is no charge for JSEE subscribers. Sorry but there is a US$25 charge for non-subscribers ABSTRACT (English) This paper discusses the technical, financial, and economic principles underlying the levelized cost method of computing the cost of solar electricity. Topics include the levelized cost method, solar radiation, solar panel efficiency, depreciation, cost of capital, fixed and variable operating and maintenance costs, and taxes. The paper includes the worksheet, ‘‘Levelized Cost Worksheet for a 1 kW Solar Electric Generating Plant.’’ Its benchmark values are for a model solar plant located in Chicago, IL. The paper discusses these benchmark values as it analyzes the worksheet’s constants (capacity-1 kW, 8,760 hr/yr), independent variables (capital cost-$/kW, cost of capital-%, physical life-yr, standard sun hours, fixed and variable O & M expense), and dependent variables (capital amortization expense, capacity factor, cost of solar electricity). 23 October 2007
