Learning curve analysis of concentrated photovoltaic systems (2015, methodology): “The above learning rate of 18% for CPV systems is similar to the learning rate for PV modules [10,17,43], which depending on methodology and time span, shows a value between 18 and 20%.”
A cost optimal resolution for Sub-Saharan Africa powered by 100% renewables in 2030 (2018, methodology): “Based on Breyer and Gerlach [13] and Vartiainen et al.”
An innovation-focused roadmap for a sustainable global photovoltaic industry (2014, methodology): “…School of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, United States d Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, United States H I G H L I G H T S We construct a two-factor learning curve model to quantify the effect of innovation.”
Flexible electricity generation, grid exchange and storage for the transition to a 100% renewable energy system in Europe (2019, methodology): “This less altruistic behaviour should be anticipated for the future as the cost of prosumer solar PV has already reached grid parity in several market segments [59], and the cost of solar PV and battery storage for prosumers is expected to decrease in the near future [17].”
Modeling The Diffusion Of Residential Photovoltaic Systems In Italy: An Agent-based Simulation (2013, background): “This result corresponds to the actual point in time when residential grid parity was achieved in Italy (Breyer and Gerlach, 2013), thus confirming the good parametrization of the model.”
A cost roadmap for silicon heterojunction solar cells (2016, background): “On the other hand, although residential grid parity has been reached in several countries worldwide [2], PV electricity is as of yet not competitive with fossil electricity generation [3–7].”
Using the sun to decarbonize the power sector: The economic potential of photovoltaics and concentrating solar power ☆ (2014, background): “Also, the scalability enables local ownership, which can be a more decisive factor for technology choice than pure cost advantage [51], especially if residential PV electricity is valued at retail instead of wholesale electricity costs (“grid parity” or “socket parity”, [52], [53]).”
