That’s more than 60% below the US price of 40 cents per watt, according to the report. A year ago, Chinese panels cost 26 cents per watt. China’s price plunge gives manufacturers there an enormous advantage over rivals in places like the United States and Europe.
According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
Since 2009, the Chinese government has taken a series of measures to promote solar PV installation in China. In March 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development initiated the first national PV program to subsidize BIPV systems larger than 50 kWp with 0.2 RMB/Wp (equivalent to 0.12–0.20 RMB/kWh).
Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.
Panel production costs in the world’s largest producer of solar energy have declined a whopping 42% from year ago, dropping as low as 15 cents per watt, according to a report by energy consultant Wood Mackenzie. That’s more than 60% below the US price of 40 cents per watt, according to the report. A year ago, Chinese panels cost 26 cents per watt.
