Study on renewable energies: Active expansion lowers acquisition costs

According to the „Clean Energy Technology“ study, photovoltaic prices are falling faster than expected due to active expansion and technical learning. Learn how this market effect is making the energy transition increasingly profitable for businesses and how CUBE CONCEPTS passes these cost advantages directly on to you.

Clean renewable energies are a decisive driver for the Energy transition. How good that the sometimes high Acquisition costs for these sources fall faster than expected. This is the result of the Clean Energy Technology' study of the Mannheim Institute for Sustainable Energy Studies (MISES).

The researchers of the study took the Development of purchase prices for renewable energies For example, the cost development of electricity generation from solar and wind power was taken into account, as was the rate at which the production costs for renewable hydrogen have fallen.

Falling unit costs for renewable energies

As Basis of the calculation served the Learning curve concept according to Theodore Paul Wright: As the cumulative number of production units increases, the unit costs decrease by a constant factor. Specifically formulated as a recommendation, this means that in order to further reduce the acquisition costs for renewable energies and make clean energy affordable for everyone, the following must be achieved Actively expanding and further developing existing technologies can be used. In this way Technical automatisms which in turn lead to further cost reductions lead.

We feel the same way: after all, you never stop learning, you learn with every project. Let us Advancing the energy transition step by step together - e.g. with your individual solar systemfor which you do not even have to pay acquisition costs.

Without investing in renewable energies with CUBE Contarcting

Degradation of PV systems: Actually much lower than long assumed

A recent long-term study by the BTU Cottbus shows that the actual power output degradation of PV systems—at around 0.6% per year—is significantly lower than is often assumed. For operators and investors, this means higher electricity yields over the entire lifespan of the system and noticeably better profitability for their projects.
