How to Estimate the Cost per kWh of Distributed PV Systems?

Generation cost is closely related to the labor costs at the installation site, solar resources, installation method, system investment, local electricity tariff, and the effective lifespan of the system. Therefore, the cost per kWh is not a fixed figure. Considering all of the above factors and assuming a lifespan of 20 years for distributed generation, the cost per kWh of distributed PV is roughly in the range of RMB 0.7/kWh to 1.4/kWh.
