The PV Module Price Index tracks wholesale pricing and supply of crystalline-silicon modules that have fallen out of traditional distribution channels, and as a result are listed for resale on the EnergyBin exchange.
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).
1. Cost Factors Driving Price Fluctuations The cost of photovoltaic modules is primarily composed of solar cells, glass, encapsulation film, and labor expenses.
The total cost over the service life of the system is amortized to give a levelized cost per year. In the PV System Cost Model (PVSCM), the owner’s overnight capital expense (cash cost) for an installed PV system is divided into eight categories, which are the same for the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market segments:
For historical secondary market PV module pricing from 2020 through 2023, download the 2023 PV Module Price Index from EnergyBin’s Resources portal. Overall, the price index shows that new PV modules don’t tend to lose resale value in the U.S. secondary market unless their technology is older, such as Legacy POLY modules.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
