4 FAQs about Cost-effectiveness analysis of 200kw photovoltaic cabinetized systems for schools

Can life cycle cost analysis be used in photovoltaic systems?

Solar energy, especially through photovoltaic systems, is a widespread and eco-friendly renewable source. Integrating life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) optimizes economic, environmental, and performance aspects for a sustainable approach. Despite growing interest, literature lacks a comprehensive review on LCCA implementation in photovoltaic systems.

How efficient is a residential PV system in 2024?

The representative residential PV system (RPV) for 2024 has a rating of 8 kW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%.

Do solar systems need a life cycle cost analysis model?

However, while the upfront costs of solar installations have significantly decreased over the years, there remains a critical need for a comprehensive and adaptable life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) model tailored specifically to solar system projects (Rethnam et al. 2019).

How much does a PV panel cost?

Upon PV panel expiration, its environmental cost is $7.98E + 12, while coal's is $2.67E + 14. In Biglarian and Abdollahi (2022) study, they investigated the feasibility of a hybrid PV-GSHP (photovoltaic and ground source heat pump) system for a residential building in Tehran, Iran.
