The report, Cost reduction potential of large-scale Solar PV, shows the Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of solar from 2014-2030. The data was compiled using using costs provided to the association by its members.  

The analysis shows that large-scale solar deployment will achieve drastic cost reductions over the coming years. The STA calculates that large-scale solar will achieve a 33% drop in costs by 2020, with a further 11% reduction from 2020-2030.

The predicted cost reduction would see PV beat gas on price by 2018 – five years earlier than DECC modelling suggests. The cost reduction curve would also see solar-generated electricity become cheaper than wholesale electricity between 2025 and 2028.
