Solar Panel Prices Climb Amid Regulatory Changes in China
Solar panel prices have seen a nearly 5% increase as China''s government tightens its regulatory measures on the photovoltaic industry. The Chinese Module Marker for TOPCon modules
Note: Costs are expressed in constant 2024 US$ per watt. Global estimates are used before 2010; European market benchmarks thereafter due to limited data availability. Solar photovoltaic module prices refer to the cost of the solar panel itself, and do not include installation or other system components.
The updated guide to photovoltaic module prices shows the latest costs of solar panels across Europe. In August, high-efficiency modules dropped to €0.12 per watt, marking an all-time low for the sector. Prices for photovoltaic modules in 2024 continue to fall.
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. “Things are not going well for the PV industry right now,” Schachinger notes.
These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs and guide SETO research and development programs. Read more to find out how these cost benchmarks are modeled and download the data and cost modeling program below.
