4 FAQs about Solar module demand and prices

Why do solar modules cost so much?

However, as the primary cost component of photovoltaic modules, the price of solar cells plays a decisive role in module pricing. Due to the oversupply of polysilicon in earlier periods, prices have been under sustained pressure since 2023, even falling below cost levels in the first half of 2024.

Will price fluctuations affect the photovoltaic module market?

As the global energy transition accelerates, the photovoltaic (PV) industry, as a key component of renewable energy, continues to attract significant attention for its promising development prospects. However, price fluctuations in the photovoltaic module market remain a critical factor influencing the industry's growth.

Why did solar module prices rise in May 2025?

In May 2025, shifting market dynamics saw solar module prices continue to rise, with supply constraints and firm demand putting upward pressure on pricing. In contrast, inverters trended lower, highlighting diverging developments across the PV value chain.
