For example, N-Type modules by REC listed for resale in May and July pushed up weighted average prices to $0.411 and $0.460 respectively. P-Type modules in September increased to $0.311 as modules by Sirius PV, Solar4America, and Panasonic were remarketed. The same price increase was present in P-Type Bifacials for the month of December.
Average EXW prices from distributors for residential solar panels are reported between €0.125/W and €0.100/W, depending on the volumes. US DDP: The spot price for TOPCon utility-scale modules DDP US rose this week from 0.71% to $0.284/W.
The PV Module Price Index tracks wholesale pricing and supply of crystalline-silicon modules that have fallen out of traditional distribution channels, and as a result are listed for resale on the EnergyBin exchange.
As of publishing, the average cost per watt is $2.84. Most solar companies set the price according to the solar system's wattage. A solar installation's “cost per watt” is a little like the “price per square foot” when you buy a house. It helps compare the value of solar energy systems in different sizes.
Prices jumped each time “Made in America” modules, whether P-Type or N-Type, were introduced into the mix. For example, N-Type modules by REC listed for resale in May and July pushed up weighted average prices to $0.411 and $0.460 respectively.
For historical secondary market PV module pricing from 2020 through 2023, download the 2023 PV Module Price Index from EnergyBin’s Resources portal. Overall, the price index shows that new PV modules don’t tend to lose resale value in the U.S. secondary market unless their technology is older, such as Legacy POLY modules.
