About Recent price trends of photovoltaic panels
The last decade has shown a sharp, though now steadying, decline in costs, driven largely by photovoltaic (PV) module efficiencies (now 19.5%, up from 19.2% in 2019) and hardware and inverter costs.
The last decade has shown a sharp, though now steadying, decline in costs, driven largely by photovoltaic (PV) module efficiencies (now 19.5%, up from 19.2% in 2019) and hardware and inverter costs.
Solar photovoltaic costs have fallen by 90% in the last decade, onshore wind by 70%, and batteries by more than 90%. These technologies have followed a “learning curve” called Wright’s Law.
In the third quarter (Q3) of 2024, the average global factory gate module price dropped another 10%, reaching $0.10/Watt direct current (W dc), with some module prices falling below production costs.
In Q3 2023, the average U.S. module price ($0.33/Wdc) was down 11% q/q and down 23% y/y but at a 100% premium over the global spot price for monofacial monocrystalline silicon modules.

6 FAQs about [Recent price trends of photovoltaic panels]
What happened to Photovoltaic prices in October 2024?
Overview by technology of different price points in October 2024, including the changes over the previous month: Only tax-free prices for photovoltaic modules are shown. The prices stated reflect the average offer prices in retail and on the European spot market (customs cleared).
Are residential PV systems cheaper than last year?
Compared to last year's report, modeled market prices for installed residential PV systems were 15% lower this year.
How many GW DC of photovoltaics are installed in 2023?
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that in 2023, 407–446 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of photovoltaics (PV) was installed globally, bringing cumulative PV installs to 1.6 terawatts direct current (TW dc). China continues to dominate the global market, representing ~60% of 2023 installs, up 120% year-over-year (y/y).
How many solar panels were imported in Q1 & Q3 2023?
The United States imported 40.6 GWdc of PV modules in Q1–Q3 2023, setting a new single-quarter record of over 15 GWdc of modules imported. Most panels imported were exempt from Section 201 duties and were therefore likely bifacial. A significant number of thin-film modules were also imported.
What happened to PV & PPA prices?
U.S. PV system and PPA prices have been flat or increased over the past 2 years. Global polysilicon spot prices fell 18% from mid-October ($10.53/kg) to mid-January ($8.70/kg), approaching their lowest levels of the past several years. Global module prices reached yet another record low, falling 22% between mid-October and mid-January to $0.11/Wdc.
How does the production tax credit affect PV systems?
The cost of any PV system—residential, commercial, or utility-scale—that uses domestically produced components is likely to be affected by the production tax credit. At one extreme, a U.S. manufacturer who receives the credit could pass the entire value to the buyer as a lower component price.
