Detailed prices of photovoltaic modules

IRENA presents solar photovoltaic module prices for a number of different technologies. Here we use the average yearly price for technologies 'Thin film a-Si/u-Si or Global Price Index (from Q4 2013)'. IRENA (2024); Nemet (2009); Farmer and Lafond (2016) – with major processing by Our World in Data in 2013 (15% of total generation). However, with recent cost reductions for solar PV, concentrating solar power (CSP) and wind power, this could change rapidly. Solar PV module prices have fallen rapidly since the end of 2009, to between USD 0.52 and USD 0.72/watt (W) in 2015.1 At the same time, balance of system costs also have declined.
