Since this project is still in an early development phase, I can currently do not specify a unique pricing and further details. However, I can now accurately identify the cost structure of a 1000 MW 3D solar plant, which are not compared to current open space systems arise. A 5 kWp 3D solar panel but will not cost more than $ 2500. As example 1000 MW solar plant witth CdS / CdTe thin film modules with 75 Wp of First Solar. 1 GW = approximately 13 million modules covering an area of 3100 ha Reduction of the costs in percent: - Land use (land / lease costs) 99% - PV module racks (mounting materials) 90% - Module (frame, glass, cables, connectors) 65 - 75% Other advantages and cost-reducing factors: - Low maintenance costs (repairs, management, monitoring) - No shading of the modules (more yield) - No contamination of the modules (more yield) - No income-reducing effect of heat on the solar cells - Minimum effort for cleaning of the optical lenses |
