European Monocrystalline module prices climb

Monocrystalline module prices climb

27.04.2012: Following several weeks of little movement, the average price of monocrystalline modules rose over 4 percent in the last week. According to PHOTON's module price index, the average per watt price of monocrystalline solar modules on the German spot market climbed €0.03 in the last week to reach €0.77 ($1.02) per watt. Meanwhile, the average price of multicrystalline modules has hovered around its current price of €0.72 ($0.95) per watt for over a month now. Prices for inverters up to 5 kW have consistently risen over the past month, climbing from €0.25 ($0.33) per watt at the beginning of April to €0.33 ($0.44) per watt on April 27. The average price for these inverters is now 10 percent higher than it was a year ago. The prices of larger inverters have not changed for several weeks: the average price of inverters between 5 and 10 kW and between 10 and 100 kW stands at €0.22 ($0.29) and €0.19 ($0.25) per watt, respectively. The PHOTON editorial team calculates the price index on a weekly basis. The entire module price index, as well as indexes for other regions, cell technologies and inverters, are published on a regular basis in PHOTON International. The Monday edition of the PHOTON newsletter includes only an excerpt from the various price indexes.
