All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts. The cumulative installed capacity for solar PV in China was 392.98 GW in 2022. The market will achieve a CAGR of more than 15% during 2022-2035.
The price of monocrystalline solar modules in China is an average of RMB 1.89 yuan per watt. Outside of China, the cost of conventional multicrystalline solar modules is between $0.218 and $0.290 per watt, with an average of $0.22 per watt.
After five years of market regulation, which the European Commission believed could counter price dumping by Chinese manufacturers and save the domestic solar industry, it was finally over in September 2018. But the success of these measures was limited –scarcely any local manufacturers had survived the competition.
“ [The] China market has a crucial role as a solar PV price indicator as it brings to the forefront the raw material shortage.” Qian cited a recent 30 MW tender linked to agricultural production and held by Chinese energy company Guangdong Energy Group Co Ltd.
Pent-up demand from what one source calls “all-time high” procurement, with China’s National Energy Administration approving a third batch of Gigawatt-base power projects, means falling prices could find a floor. According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, the country is set to install up to 120 GW of solar power in 2023.
Wholesale prices plummeted by almost half in 2023 and have fallen another 25 per cent in 2024. Chinese manufacturers are competing for customers by cutting prices far below their costs, and still keep building more factories. The price slashing has taken a severe toll on China’s solar companies.
