What is the PV module price index - secondary solar market report?

The third annual (2023) PV Module Price Index - Secondary Solar Market report is now available for download. The PV module price index tracks wholesale pricing and supply of crystalline-silicon modules that have fallen out of traditional distribution channels, and as a result are listed for resale on the EnergyBin exchange.

How much does a solar module cost?

All Black and Bifacial modules were $0.261/Wp and $0.308/Wp respectively. The PV Module Price Index is a resource for solar professionals to accurately track modules traded within the secondary market. This year’s report comes with some key changes to portray more precisely what’s happening in the market.

How efficient are multi-junction solar cells?

In terms of theoretical efficiency, multi-junction solar cells have the potential to significantly outperform traditional single-junction solar cells. According to the Department of Energy, multi-junction solar cells with three junctions have theoretical efficiencies of over 45 percent, while single-junction cells top out at about 33.5 percent.

What is the PV module price index?

The PV module price index presented by EnergyBin tracks and reports on crystalline-silicon (c-Si) module trade within the secondary market. Results are based on data collected from over 500 EnergyBin members who are trading at wholesale levels. These members represent solar companies from across the supply chain.

What is the difference between a single-junction and a multijunction solar cell?

Single-junction solar cells have one p-n junction to direct the flow of electricity created when sunlight hits a semiconducting material. In a multi-junction solar cell, there are multiple p-n junctions that can induce a flow of electricity. Multi-junction solar cells are not made using silicon as a semiconductor.

Are discount prices excluded from the PV module price index?

Discounted prices for minimum quantity orders of 1+ container (s) are excluded from this price index. The 2023 PV module price index presented by EnergyBin tracks crystalline-silicon modules traded within the secondary solar market. Download the report.
