All errors are our own. Cost- and Price Dynamics of Solar PV Modules Abstract: For several decades, the prices for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules have adhered closely to an 80% learning curve. Yet recent price declines have been even steeper.
1. Cost Factors Driving Price Fluctuations The cost of photovoltaic modules is primarily composed of solar cells, glass, encapsulation film, and labor expenses.
However, as the primary cost component of photovoltaic modules, the price of solar cells plays a decisive role in module pricing. Due to the oversupply of polysilicon in earlier periods, prices have been under sustained pressure since 2023, even falling below cost levels in the first half of 2024.
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.
For a sample of solar PV manufacturers, we estimate production costs based on nancial accounting statements. We use these cost estimates as data inputs in a dynamic model of competition to obtain equilibrium prices, termed Economically Sustainable Prices (ESP).
