1. Cost Factors Driving Price Fluctuations The cost of photovoltaic modules is primarily composed of solar cells, glass, encapsulation film, and labor expenses.
Mainstream Modules: Average price of €0.11/Wp, stable compared to September but 21.4% lower than January 2024. Low-Cost Modules: Average price of €0.065/Wp, a 7.1% decrease from September and 27.8% from January 2024. These trends are exerting mounting pressure on the photovoltaic sector.
As the global energy transition accelerates, the photovoltaic (PV) industry, as a key component of renewable energy, continues to attract significant attention for its promising development prospects. However, price fluctuations in the photovoltaic module market remain a critical factor influencing the industry's growth.
Here's a detailed breakdown: High-Efficiency Solar Panels: The average price was €0.125/Wp, marking a 3.8% decrease compared to October 2024. Mainstream Solar Panels: Prices averaged €0.095/Wp, experiencing a 5% decline from October 2024. Low-Cost Solar Panels: Prices remained stable at €0.060/Wp, unchanged from the previous month.
However, given the supply-demand pressures and the competitive landscape of the industry, photovoltaic module prices are expected to remain in a low adjustment phase in 2025. Smaller enterprises may intensify their inventory clearance efforts to survive, which could create temporary downward pressure on market prices.
However, as the primary cost component of photovoltaic modules, the price of solar cells plays a decisive role in module pricing. Due to the oversupply of polysilicon in earlier periods, prices have been under sustained pressure since 2023, even falling below cost levels in the first half of 2024.
