More recently, the cost of solar in Japan has decreased to between ¥13.1/kWh to ¥21.3/kWh (on average, ¥15.3/kWh, or $0.142/kWh). [133] The cost of a solar PV module make up the largest part of the total investment costs. As per the recent analysis of Solar Power Generation Costs in Japan 2021, module unit prices fell sharply.
The cost of a electricity production depends on costs during the expected lifetime of the generator and the amount of electricity the generator is expected to produce over its lifetime. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is the average cost in currency per energy unit, for example, EUR per kilowatt-hour or AUD per megawatt-hour. [3]
According to Synapse Energy Economics, the estimated construction cost for the facility of $5,561.00 per kW fell between that of coal and nuclear power plants. [ 45 ] [ 46 ] but this does not account for the less favorable capacity factor of solar power.
The power generated also cost NV Energy about $135 per megawatt-hour, compared with less than $30 per MWh available from a new Nevada photovoltaic solar farm. [40] [16] But to compare fairly, it must be taken into account that the Tonopah solar project power is dispatchable while photovoltaic power is intermittent. Truly levelized cost ...

Between 2000 and 2013 there was 2,261 MW of residential solar and 4,051 MW non-residential solar installed. [88] After years of cost reduction, the average US price per watt was between $2.51 to $3.31 in 2020 for 10 kW systems, [89] and $1.05/W for utility systems. [90]
In 2021 Lazard estimated the levelized cost of new build unsubsidized utility scale solar electricity at less than 37 dollars per MWh and existing coal-fired power above that amount. [ 123 ] [ 124 ] The 2021 report also said that new solar was also cheaper than new gas-fired power, but not generally existing gas power.
