3 3 Outline Residential PV System Installation Trends Plug and Play (PnP) Initiative PnP General Requirements NCSU PnP System Future Work
4 Installation (MWdc) 4 PV Installation Trends PV Installations by Market Segment, Residential Non-Residential Utility Increase in PV Installations over past 3 years for both Utility and Residential scale. Not shown, but Residential installs surpassed Commercial in Q Source:
5 Installed Price ($/Wdc) 5 PV System Pricing Trends Average Installed Price by Market Segment Q Q Utility PV system price declined by nearly 50% since Residential PV system price declined by about 30% in same time period. 0 Q Q Q Q Utility Residential
6 System Cost ($/W) 6 Cost Breakdown for Residential PV Total PV system price and SunShot target for 5kW residential PV $6.60 $5.22 $ SunShot 2020 Target Other Soft Costs Permitting, inspection, and interconnection Installation Labor Customer Acquisition Soft costs are substantial percentage of residential system cost. Soft cost includes sales tax, supply chain, installer profit, indirect costs. SunShot goal to substantially reduce soft costs.
