FAQs 6

How much do solar panels cost?

Solar panels only represent a fraction of system costs, and this has been analyzed by the NREL. The November 2021 technical report considers a PV module cost of $0.34 per watt, which is equivalent to:

What is solar technology cost analysis?

NREL’s solar technology cost analysis examines the technology costs and supply chain issues for solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies. This work informs research and development by identifying drivers of cost and competitiveness for solar technologies.

Are solar panels financially viable?

As the size of solar projects increases, their cost per watt decreases significantly. This is reflected in the average prices from most recent NREL technical report: Note how the cost per watt is nearly 70% lower in utility-scale PV systems, compared with small residential systems. However, solar panels are financially viable at all project scales.

Why do solar panels cost so much?

As the size of a solar array increases, photovoltaic modules represent a higher percentage of total costs, while the percentage of soft costs decreases. This is also why large projects are more sensitive to solar module prices, and more dependent on low-cost imports from overseas.

What is NREL analysis of manufacturing costs for silicon solar cells?

NREL analysis of manufacturing costs for silicon solar cells includes bottom-up cost modeling for all the steps in the silicon value chain. Solar Manufacturing Cost Analysis Solar Installed System Cost Analysis Solar Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis Solar Supply Chain and Industry Analysis Solar System Operations and Maintenance Analysis

Where did photovoltaic cost data come from?

Photovoltaic cost data between 1975 and 2003 has been taken from Nemet (2009), between 2004 and 2009 from Farmer & Lafond (2016), and since 2010 from IRENA. Prices from Nemet (2009) and Farmer & Lafond (2016) have been converted to 2024 US$ using the US GDP deflator, to account for the effects of inflation.
