How much does a solar module cost?

With a specific silicon consumption of 14 grams per watt (g/W) and a spot price of $28/kg, polysilicon made up costs of $0.39/W or 12.6% of the average wholesale solar module price ($3.10/W) in 2003. Due to the strong demand and the higher polysilicon costs, the average module price increased to $3.35/W in 2004.

Is the polysilicon spot price index higher than EnergyTrend?

Until late 2014, its polysilicon spot price index was 2% to 5% higher than that of EnergyTrend on an annual average; after that, however, it was 2% to 7% lower. In 2019 this spread widened significantly from 7% in the first quarter to 16% in the fourth quarter.

What is the price index of PVinsights for p-type material?

Consequently, the price index of PVinsights for p-type material declined from $4.60/kg two weeks ago to $4.50/kg this week.

Will PV surge fuel polysilicon demand in China?

Many market observers expected that PV installations in China would surge massively in the fourth quarter and thus fuel polysilicon demand. Contrary to these assumptions, the surge hardly materialized whereas polysilicon production in China continued to grow.
