Future photovoltaic module prices

International PV module prices, driven by Chinese averages, will likely rise from $0.08/W to $0.10/W today to $0.11/W by the end of 2025 and potentially $0.13/W by 2027, says Clean Energy Associates (CEA), noting that heterojunction and back-contact technologies now make up 12% of global module capacity. Against these backdrops, not only supply chain prices, but prices for module BOM surged. Overall module production cost in October was estimated to have come in above RMB 1.9/W. Having been affected by price hikes across the supply chain in the first half of the year, it was commonplace for module makers to renegotiate prices with clients and ...
