Levelized cost of electricity for solar photovoltaic, battery and cogen hybrid systems (2016, background): “High exergy electricity from PV is not only reliable, safe and sustainable [8-11], but now it has become an economical way of providing global society's energy needs as well [12-13].”
Re-considering the economics of photovoltaic power (2013, background): “Yang (2010), for example, calculates PV with a levelized cost of $0.49/kWh. Timilsina et al. (2012) find that the minimum values of LCOE for PV are $0.19/kWh.”
Potential of Renewable Energy Resources with an Emphasis on Solar Power in Iraq: An Outlook (2019, background): “The CSP market is expected to increase significantly [19].”
China’s solar photovoltaic policy: An analysis based on policy instruments (2014, neutral): “The demand-side policy practices related to solar energy in different countries cover a very rich range of policy instruments, including feed-in-tariffs, subsidies, net metering, green tags, renewable energy portfolios, financial support, public investment, tax credits, government mandates and regul”
