Photovoltaic Price Index
Every month we publish a current price index on the development of wholesale prices of solar modules. In doing so, we differentiate between the main technologies available on the market.
According to price analysis firm InfoLink: “Since March, the spot price of n-type modules in China has soared from RMB0.7/W to RMB0.73/W. Quotes from leading manufacturers are approaching the RMB0.75/W mark.” The results of the China Datang Group's 2025-2026 PV module framework. Image: Datang.
Mainstream Modules: Average price of €0.11/Wp, stable compared to September but 21.4% lower than January 2024. Low-Cost Modules: Average price of €0.065/Wp, a 7.1% decrease from September and 27.8% from January 2024. These trends are exerting mounting pressure on the photovoltaic sector.
On 11 March 2025, the results of the China Datang Group's 2025-2026 PV module framework purchase tender were announced, with the spot price of n-type modules increasing from RMB0.7/W (US$0.097/W) to RMB0.73/W (US$0.1/W), and some modules priced as high as RMB0.75/W (US$0.11/W).
Mainstream Photovoltaic Panels: Average price of €0.10/Wp, down 9.1% month-on-month. Low-Cost Photovoltaic Modules: Average price of €0.060/Wp, a decrease of 7.7% compared to the previous month. These figures underscore the significant pressures in the photovoltaic market, as price reductions strain margins to unprecedented levels.
High-Efficiency Modules: Average price of €0.14/Wp, down 6.7% from September 2024 and 39.1% from January 2024. Mainstream Modules: Average price of €0.11/Wp, stable compared to September but 21.4% lower than January 2024. Low-Cost Modules: Average price of €0.065/Wp, a 7.1% decrease from September and 27.8% from January 2024.
CEA has predicted that solar module prices may increase from around $0.8/W to $10/W currently to $0.11/W by the end of 2025 and likely up to $0.13/W by 2027.
