Capital Costs for Dual-Use Photovoltaic Installations: 2020 Benchmark for Ground-Mounted PV Systems with Pollinator-Friendly Vegetation, Grazing, and Crops

This report analyzes the installed system cost of various multi-land use PV system configurations. We used PV system bottom-up cost model accounting for all system and project-development costs incurred during the installation to model the costs for conventional PV systems, PV systems co-located with sheep grazing, PV systems co-located with pollinator friendly fields and PV systems co-located with crops. We also conducted extensive sensitivity analysis around different PV system design parameters given the nascent stage of this industry.
