module price

Silicon-based tandem solar cells and modules are expected to enter commercial production in 2027 with a module efficiency of 27%, according to the latest International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) published by German engineering association VDMA.

Solar manufacturing giant LONGi has withdrawn from a public procurement process for a Romanian solar project after the European Commission (EC) launched an investigation into possible “market distortion”.

An increase in solar module prices is “hard to imagine unless there is a massive shortage in supply”, according to PV Tech head of research Finlay Colville.

Low solar module prices kept solar PV competitive in the energy market in 2023 despite generally falling electricity prices.

Price of polysilicon decreased this week both for p-type and n-type materials with the former dropping below the historic low of US$6.75/kg reached in June 2020.

Scatec posted record-high revenues and construction figures over 2023 which it said was facilitated by lower module and BESS prices.

While India’s solar market is still heavily weighted on the lowest possible costs, the price difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV module technologies is beginning to fade. PV Tech caught up with major module suppliers at the REI Expo in Greater Noida, India, to discuss the future of Mono in this heavyweight global market.

PV Tech caught up with Sunil Jain, chief executive and executive director of Delhi-headquartered renewable energy developer, Hero Future Energies, to discuss power demand, safeguard threats, module pricing and tender activity in India's utility-scale PV segment.
