The price of standard solar modules hit an all-time low of 16.5 US cents per watt in August 2023, and we expect it to fall further by the end of the year. China is installing huge volumes of solar, and it is increasingly clear that local plans and targets for build serve as a lower bound rather than an upper one on what actually happen.
Overview by technology of different price points in November 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).
In 2023, the global weighted average levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) from newly commissioned utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV), onshore wind, offshore wind and hydropower fell. Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%).
The 28th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2023. It appears that 1 185 GW represents the minimum installed cumulative capacity by the end of 2022, and at least 240 GW of PV systems have been commissioned in the world last year.
Margins across the PV value chain are under pressure, as competition is intense among Chinese manufacturers and module inventory is high in Europe and other large markets. The price of standard solar modules hit an all-time low of 16.5 US cents per watt in August 2023, and we expect it to fall further by the end of the year.
Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%). For newly commissioned onshore wind projects, the global weighted average LCOE fell by 3% year-on-year; whilst for offshore wind, the cost of electricity of new projects decreased by 7% compared to 2022.
