Cost Maps for Unsubsidised Photovoltaic Electricity

Updated maps have been generated comparing the levelised cost of PV electricity with residential prices in European countries. The analysis assumes that full and free net metering but does not include any feed-in tariff or subsidy scheme. The results highlight the increasing competitiveness of PV. On this basis the PV LCOE can be equal to or less than residential electricity prices for 79.5% of Europe's population.
