Advancements in material science and production technologies of solar photovoltaics (PV) system components, have obvious impacts in terms of Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) reductions over time. Beside such technologies in physical sciences, digitalization technologies have increasingly positive impacts on the cost efficient operation and investment planning of the solar energy investments and keep the current cost decline trajectory for the PV industry.

One option to achieve this may be through digital financial innovations such as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based crowdfunding for project finance. This option would enable multiple small investors to offer loans with lower interest rates and longer debt tenors than traditional financiers, such as banks, while increasing the acceptable debt fraction for a project due to the higher risk tolerance of individual investors coupled with the risk reduction that this innovation could allow. This new aspect of the digital partial ownership of the energy projects is demonstrated using a functional DLT-based crowdfunding mechanism. Furthermore, impacts of the proposed approach is demonstrated by calculating the LCOE values for the European countries by comparing with the traditional investment options. According to the findings of this study digitalization technologies especially DLT has positive impact in terms of reducing the financial costs and also LCOE values of solar energy projects. Additionally, these estimated cost values are used for analyzing the grid parity of PV systems in each assessed country. This article presents a digitization based methodology that has a high potential to accelerate the Digital Green Shift in future.

基于 DLT 的股权众筹,探讨太阳能投资的技术经济可行性

随着时间的推移,太阳能光伏 (PV) 系统组件的材料科学和生产技术的进步对平准化电力成本 (LCOE) 的降低产生了明显的影响。除了物理科学中的这些技术,数字化技术对太阳能投资的成本效益运营和投资规划产生越来越积极的影响,并保持光伏行业目前的成本下降轨迹。

实现这一目标的一种选择可能是通过数字金融创新,例如基于分布式账本技术 (DLT) 的项目融资众筹。这种选择将使多个小投资者能够提供比银行等传统金融机构更低利率和更长债务期限的贷款,同时由于个人投资者更高的风险承受能力以及风险降低,增加了项目的可接受债务比例。这种创新可以允许。使用基于 DLT 的功能性众筹机制展示了能源项目数字部分所有权的这一新方面。此外,通过与传统投资方案进行比较,计算欧洲国家的 LCOE 值,证明了所提议方法的影响。根据这项研究的结果,数字化技术尤其是 DLT 在降低太阳能项目的财务成本和 LCOE 值方面具有积极影响。此外,这些估计的成本值用于分析每个评估国家光伏系统的电网平价。本文介绍了一种基于数字化的方法,它具有在未来加速数字绿色转变的巨大潜力。
