Objective: Using project-level data, evaluate trends in the installed cost ofgrid-connected PV systems throughout the United States:

• Changes in total system installed cost and component-level costs over time

• Variation in total installed cost by system size

• Differences in installed cost across U.S. states and countries

• Differences in installed cost by customer type, application, and technology

• Changes in PV incentives and net installed cost over time and variation acrossstates

Photo-Voltaic (PV) Technology 

PV is a well known technology for many years. Its use was limited until recent years to stand alone projects. The wave of the demand for clean sources of energy has brought many countries, in the last years, to encourage the construction of PV grid connected projects by special feed in tariffs.

Solar Energy Professional Consultancy

This policy brought a relatively enhanced development of big PV projects.  This situation, in turn, raised the need for highly professional planning of such projects on the one hand and fulfillment of enlarged regulatory demands on the other hand. This is where professional consultancy comes into the picture.

 

The PV Experts Team

The PV Experts team includes Dr. Douglas Ruby from the U.S.A, Dr. Ibrahim Yehia and Dan Shilo from Israel, each one with more then 20 years of experience in this field. PV Experts is supplying all the Solar Power related services. We have practiced it already in many projects in various countries.

About PV Expertspvexperts photo voltaic solar power plant
 

PV Experts started its operation in June 2008, after more then 20 years of experience of its owners, working separately on many PV projects. 

Right from the beginning we were constantly employed by PV developers, in Israel as well as in other countries, as consultants on technical, economical and licensing issues.
Our consultancy covered a Spanish PV project, big Israeli PV companies, licensing for new developers in Israel, preparing an offer for a Greek company for a tender issued by a big Greek building company, preparing a business plan for an eight MW PV project in Thailand. Our consultancy in that case included also the preparation of the equipment list and quantities needed in order to receive price quotations from various equipment suppliers.
