Solar component and material prices to increase
Buyers should prepare for increases in the price of vital solar module components, such as polysilicon, wafers and cells, but “remain cautious” of accepting new contractual terms from
View DetailsHryshko expects prices of high-quality Tier 1 solar modules to soon exceed $0.12/W. “This means module prices will at least match production costs for the first time in months,” she highlights. “And this should happen within six months.
Solar module prices are expected to increase significantly from current levels in the next six months, according to Yana Hryshko, head of Solar Supply Chain Research for Wood Mackenzie. “Prices have to increase, as the Chinese solar manufacturing industry is going to do everything to make this happen,” she told pv magazine.
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.
