The home photovoltaic systems power generation project is guaranteed by the grid company for grid-connected consumption. So how feasible is it to equip the home photovoltaic systems project with a home power bank? How many years can the cost be recovered? And what is the current global usage situation?
In this article, we will discuss the feasibility analysis of the current photovoltaic solar system configuration home power from three cases.
In some developed areas, the cost of electricity consumption is relatively high, and the overall grid facilities are not stable and reliable. Therefore, reducing the comprehensive electricity cost is the main driving force for installing home power.
From the perspective of per capita electricity consumption, the per capita electricity consumption of Germany/USA/Japan/Australia will be 7,035/12,994/7,820/10,071 kWh respectively in 2021, which is 1.8/3.3/1.99/2.56 times of China's per capita electricity consumption (3,927kWh) in the same period.
From the perspective of electricity prices, residential electricity prices in developed regions around the world are also significantly higher. According to statistics from Global Petrol Prices, the average residential electricity price in Germany/United States/Japan/Australia in June 2020 is 36/14/26/34 cents/kWh, which is 4.2/1.65/3.1/4 times of China's residential electricity price (8.5 cents) in the same period.
Case 1：Australia Residential solar home power systems
Australia's average electricity bill has many variables, depending on the size of your home and the number of appliances you use every day. However, the average national electricity consumption in Australia is 9,044 kWh per year or 14 kWh per day. Unfortunately, in the past three years, household electricity bills have risen by more than $550.

Photovoltaic Solar System+Solar Power Battery Storage Will Eventually Become Mainstream Energy
The continuous reduction in the cost of lithium batteries and the strong support of various policies for the home power system business, as well as the high spontaneous self-utilization rate of the home power system itself, peak shaving and valley filling, and enhancement of the stability of the new energy power system, make the photovoltaic battery storage system in the field of new energy, there is a torrent of courageous progress.
Fully subvert the traditional energy demand and realize that the comprehensive cost of photovoltaic battery storage system is lower than that of thermal power. This is the reason why photovoltaic battery storage system will eventually become mainstream energy. It is not necessarily because it is the cleanest, but it must be because it is the cheapest. The system cost of home photovoltaic systems has been reduced to $0.47/W. I think the system cost reached $9.31/W in 2007. In 13 years, the cost has dropped to only 5% of the original cost; lithium batteries for solar power storage has dropped to $0.23/wh, the number of charging and discharging can reach 5000 times.
In 2025, the cost of alternative power sources for home will be $0.34/W, and it will be depreciated for 25 years plus financial costs, 1500 hours/year of power generation hours, and the cost of electricity is $0.16 per kilowatt-hour; solar power batteries cost $0.16/Wh, charging The number of releases is 10,000 times, depreciated for 15 years. The storage cost per kilowatt-hour is 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the financial cost is $0.02 per kilowatt-hour; the cost of photovoltaic battery storage system is $0.036/kw, and the cost is expected to drop to $0.023 per kilowatt-hour in 2030 Within, sweep all fossil energy.
It is a high probability event that photovoltaic battery storage system can occupy 20% of the global power market in 2030, about 9 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity. According to global power generation conditions, the average annual photovoltaic power generation capacity of 1250 hours can be expected, 1GW (1 million KW) installed capacity is about 1.25 billion kWh and 9 trillion kWh. The total installed capacity is 7,200GW, and the ground installation area is about 70,000 square kilometers. The cost of photovoltaic ground system is predicted to be $0.34/W in 2025 (module $0.16/W) and $0.28/W in 2030 (module $0.13/W). As of the end of 2020, the total global installed capacity of photovoltaics is about 750GW, and 6450GW photovoltaic battery storage system will be added in the next 10 years. The huge space is enough to make people excited.
With more energy storage policy incentives, market system improvement, and technological progress brought about by the cost reduction of energy storage systems, the deployment of home power for domestic home photovoltaic projects will become the norm for new energy sources.
