How much does a PV module cost in 2022?

Since November 2022 alone, PV module prices have roughly halved, to a record low. To put that into perspective, electricity prices on the European Energy Exchange in Leipzig averaged €30 ($32.64) per megawatt-hour in 2020 and have fluctuated between €77/MWh and €102/MWh since March 2023.

How much will a solar module cost in 2023?

The module price will fall from $0.22 per Watt-peak of generation capacity, in summer 2023, to $0.097/Wp in 2030. Global volume will rise by a factor of 11 and the price will more than halve. The following chart shows the expected volume growth and price reduction from 2023 as a forecast based on previous developments.

How much do solar modules cost in 2021?

As a result, solar module prices have dropped by a third from 2021, to a recent low of just $US18c/watt.

Are photovoltaic power plants undercuting production costs?

Photovoltaic power plants undercut production costs of around $0.01/kWh in 2020, in sunny regions, and the current PV price trend enables even lower production costs. The average costs shown in the Bloomberg chart above could be significantly undercut with new systems.

Will the wholesale cost of solar modules halve again by 2040?

This week, new research predicts that the wholesale cost of solar modules will halve again by 2040

When will PV module prices rise?

As a result, module prices will likely rise moderately but steadily until at least early next quarter. This outlook reflects delays in deliveries from major brands, with restocking for mid-sized PV systems not expected until April or May.
