In the Chinese domestic market, mono PERC M10 cells were priced at around CNY0.335($0.046)/W, while TOPCon M10 cells stood at approximately CNY0.397/W, as per the OPIS market survey. According to a major TOPCon cell producer, the current price trend of cells is closely mirroring the price trend of wafers.
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.
For the fifth month in a row, module prices fell again by an average of around 6 percent, so the drop in prices since the beginning of the year has increased to an average of 25 percent across all technology classes.
Module makers appeared reserved towards price quotes next year amid lofty production costs. Presently, prices for modules rated beyond 500 W in the fourth quarter this year and the first quarter of 2022 is projected to sustain at RMB 2.05-2.13/W and USD 0.275-0.29/W, respectively.
Overall module production cost in October was estimated to have come in above RMB 1.9/W. Having been affected by price hikes across the supply chain in the first half of the year, it was commonplace for module makers to renegotiate prices with clients and to see orders being canceled.
This report provides regularly updated information and analysis to give readers a comprehensive picture of the solar market and help them make informed decisions. Additional information on the development of the PV market is also available in our photovoltaic price index.
At the beginning of the year, the predominantly Asian module manufacturers announced lower sales prices for newly produced goods. However, it took a good two months for these goods to arrive in Europe. Now, at least on the spot market, there are already offers with prices that are up to 20 percent below last year's values.

Infolink''s price monitoring for this week pegs PERC double-glass modules at RMB0.85-0.9 per watt, TOPCon modules at RMB0.88-0.96 per watt, and HJT modules at a stable RMB1.04-1.25 per watt.
Cell Price Analysis: In the third quarter of 2024, the average price of N-type cells was RMB 0.29 per watt, a decrease of RMB 0.06, or 18%, compared to the previous quarter. Cell prices have slightly declined overall since Q3, with a larger price drop than polysilicon and wafers but smaller than in the module segment. Production and inventory levels for cells …
Price Trends: This week, prices for all cell specifications held steady. However, G12R cells are under dual pressure from upstream wafer price declines and rising inventory levels, raising the …
High PV module prices in 2022 hindered utility scale project deployment so small-scale, "distributed-generation" (DG) projects made up around 60% of the market. After supply chain issues eased, module prices started falling in 2023, driving utility scale projects that supplied 55% of the market in the fourth quarter while DG solar matured.
