Solar costs
This dashboard provides an overview on the latest Solar PV costs.
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.
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.
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.
Solar photovoltaic modules are in general called solar panels. They convert sunlight to solar energy. Several solar cells are used to create PV modules. Semiconductor materials such as silicon are used to make these solar cells. Three main types of solar panels used today are: 1. Monocrystalline 2. Polycrystalline 3. Thin film
Average EXW prices from distributors for residential solar panels are reported between €0.125/W and €0.100/W, depending on the volumes. US DDP: The spot price for TOPCon utility-scale modules DDP US rose this week from 0.71% to $0.284/W.
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).
