Solar photovoltaic panel prices
Solar photovoltaic module prices refer to the cost of the solar panel itself, and do not include installation or other system components. Prices are compiled from three sources: Nemet
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.
Global leaders like JinkoSolar, JA Solar and Trina leverage scale to dominate supply, while US firms such as First Solar, Qcells and Canadian Solar grow under supportive policy and rising demand. Wholesale platforms like Sunhub Solar Trader, A1 SolarStore and EnergyBin provide buyers with tools to secure reliable, cost-effective modules.
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:
Market analysts routinely monitor and report the average cost of PV systems and components, but more detail is needed to understand the impact of recent and future technology developments on cost. Consequently, benchmark systems in the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market sectors are evaluated each year.
