How much does a PV system cost in 2023?

The median system price of large-scale utility-owned PV systems in 2023 was $1.27/Wac—relatively flat since 2018. The median price for residential PV systems reported by EnergySage increased 6.3% y/y to $2.8/Wdc—in-line with mid-2020 price levels. Decreased 8% to $1.14/Wdc for systems 5 MW+.

How much does a solar system cost in 2023?

farm projects, KSUT Public Radio, 3/14/24. "Opposition to Renewable Energy Facilities in the United States", Columbia Law School Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, June 2024. The median system price of large-scale utility-owned PV systems in 2023 was $1.27/Wac—relatively flat since 2018.

Will market-based electricity pricing affect new solar projects in 2025?

Under this policy, new grid-connected solar projects will adopt market-based electricity pricing from June 1, potentially leading to a sudden drop in domestic module demand and lower prices in the second half of 2025.

Why are module prices rising?

According to industry insiders, the increase in module prices from mid-February has been driven by genuine market support. Following China’s announcement of sweeping changes to its power tariff structure, market players rushed to deliver modules for domestic projects before the end of April.
