By Jenny Chase, Solar, BloombergNEF The photovoltaic industry added about 444 gigawatts of new capacity in 2023, a 76% growth on 2022 build. Prices of solar modules are at record lows, and supply of components is plentiful. End-user markets are booming while manufacturers struggle to make a profit. Installations this year will top 520GW.
Although solar growth will slow from this year due to higher base period, grid issue, and localization trend, the market outlook remains positive as module prices plummeted, with module demand projecting to see an increase of 15-20% in 2024.
Tim Buckley, director of Climate Energy Finance, speaks to <b>pv magazine</b> about the current steep trajectory of solar module prices. He estimates that PV panels prices will end up dropping by 40% this year and predicts the closure of old technology and sub-scale solar manufacturing facilities, both in China and globally.
Firms are shutting down factories for maintenance, and we have reduced our estimate of 2024 polysilicon production to 1.96 million metric tons – still enough to make 900GW of modules. Module prices have dipped to $0.096 per Watt, the lowest level ever, while polysilicon at $4.7 per kilogram is below production cost.
Low prices for modules are stimulating demand in new markets, but hurting manufacturers, who are competing intensely to maintain market share. The global PV build forecast is up 1% quarter-on-quarter, largely due to developments in India and Pakistan, with installations slower than previously expected in Japan and South Africa.
