Technical FAQs 4

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%.

What is the cheapest PV system?

For the 5 kW system, the cheapest PV technology is N-type with a value of 6.68 c€/kWh, because of its advancements in increasing the conversion efficiency, achieving 23.1%. Finally, for the 7 kW system, the most efficient technology is TOPCon, with an average value of 6.05 c€/kWh for LCOE2, considering it has the lowest capital investment.

Are photovoltaic systems feasible?

Alongside hydropower, wind and nuclear plants, the photovoltaic (PV) systems developed greatly, with new PV technologies emerging in recent years. Although the conversion efficiencies are improving and the materials used have a lower impact on the environment, the feasibility of these technologies is required to be assessed.

Are solar energy cost projections overestimating actual costs?

Cost projections for solar photovoltaics, wind power, and batteries are over-estimating actual costs globally. Appl Energy (2025). OEDI.
