As of 2024, residential rooftop-mounted solar photovoltaic energy systems accounted for the largest levelized cost of energy (LCOE) worldwide. Capital cost represented over 90 percent of their LCOE, at 112 U.S. dollars per megawatt-hour. By comparison, offshore wind energy installation had the largest fixed operation and management costs, at 12 U.S. dollars per megawatt-hour, while gas peaking energy plants had the largest fuel price.
