All errors are our own. Cost- and Price Dynamics of Solar PV Modules Abstract: For several decades, the prices for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules have adhered closely to an 80% learning curve. Yet recent price declines have been even steeper.
Monitoring the price development of solar modules is of crucial importance for investors, manufacturers and other players in the solar energy industry. A sound understanding of market trends makes it possible to make the most of opportunities and take forward-looking decisions.
Our projected solar module prices are relevant to debates about policy support for solar energy. For example, the U.S., federal policy that allows investors in solar installations a 30% investment tax credit (ITC) is set to be reduced to 10% by the end of 2016.
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).
For a sample of solar PV manufacturers, we estimate production costs based on nancial accounting statements. We use these cost estimates as data inputs in a dynamic model of competition to obtain equilibrium prices, termed Economically Sustainable Prices (ESP).
Our calculations yield a global learning curve for the balance-of-system of 89%, which corresponds to a progress ratio of 11% compared with 20% for modules. Understanding the rate at which capital costs of photovoltaics are falling with such detail will aid in more effective renewable energy policy planning and budgeting.
