If a cash-rich solar manufacturing company intent on a fully green transition sets up its own solar PV generation plant, it could reduce operating electricity costs considerably. This would then result in measurable difference in the cost of module manufacturing in India.
Herein, we describe the crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV industry through the optic of a variable that influences both sustainable module prices and sustainable manufacturing capacity growth rates: “capital expenditure” (abbreviated “capex”), which is the upfront cost to build a factory and fill it with equipment.
The capital intensity of the PV industry is not unprecedented however. The integrated circuit and other specialty manufacturers maintain high capital intensities, but with lower volatility than the PV industry, and often higher margins.
By engaging in solar manufacturing, countries can enter a moderately high-technology “green” manufacturing arena. With the reduction in the cost of PV modules, transportation and shipping have been contributing in greater proportion to the total cost of PV installations.
Chip fabrication firms have the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world. Chip production is highly input-intensive with huge environmental impact. This is the first paper on the eco-performance assessment of the chip sector. Higher revenue per wafer produced seems to imply higher resource use.
For solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, “cost per watt” and “minimum sustainable price” (MSP, in units of $/W) are ubiquitous techno-economic evaluation metrics. Herein, an MIT-NREL collaboration team highlights the importance of an additional techno-economic metric: “capex,” an abbreviation of “capital expenditure,” or the upfront factory cost.
