Solar PV: The future
![Page 3: IRENA's Solar PV Parity Indicators to Support Policy Makers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5579f2a9d8b42abc2e8b49b4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

A dynamic market
![Page 4: IRENA's Solar PV Parity Indicators to Support Policy Makers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5579f2a9d8b42abc2e8b49b4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Why PV Parity Indicators?
Rapidly declining solar PV module prices…..
…..and installed costs
![Page 5: IRENA's Solar PV Parity Indicators to Support Policy Makers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5579f2a9d8b42abc2e8b49b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why PV Parity Indicators?
5
• Narrow markets• Lack of data• High level of uncertainty on costs• High level of variation in costs
![Page 6: IRENA's Solar PV Parity Indicators to Support Policy Makers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5579f2a9d8b42abc2e8b49b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PV Parity Indicators: A Solution
6
• Tracks quarterly competiveness• Indicators, not actual costs• Target audience are policy makers and thought
leaders• Start with North America• Can lead to more detailed analysis• Supports other IRENA activities

Methodology
7
• Simple metrics• LCOE vs Effective Electricity Rate/Value• Require detailed assumptions & analysis

8Recent module price reductions make solar PV competitive
Residential PV Parity: A nuanced story
![Page 9: IRENA's Solar PV Parity Indicators to Support Policy Makers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5579f2a9d8b42abc2e8b49b4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Residential PV Parity: San Francisco
Minimum effective electricity rate
Maximum effective electricity rate
Average California electricity rate (EIA)

Installed cost variation by city
Consistently wide variation in installed costs, why?
