PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
Alongside these developments, mine photovoltaic (MPV) systems have gained attention as a viable option for expanding solar energy.
These attributes make them an effective complement to large power grids and a substitute for ‘greenfield’ energy projects. Viewing such deployments as a specialized form of centralized PV generation can contribute to the optimization of energy structures in mines.
The analysis focuses on rene-wable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV), wind energy (WPP), and bioenergy plants in Germany. Additionally, PV bat-tery systems and photovoltaic installations on agricultural land (Agri-PV) are considered, as they represent a growing market in the German power system.
12.0 €Cent/kWh in northern Germany, with specific invest-ments between 900 and 1600 EUR/kWp. Large ground-moun-ted PV systems (>1 MWp) currently achieve LCOE values bet-ween 4.1 and 5.0 €Cent/kWh in southern Germany and 5.7 to 6.9 €Cent/kWh in northern Germany, as the most cost-ef-fective systems have specific investment costs of 700 EUR/kW
