A weekly OPIS report highlights varying price trends in global solar module markets:
- China (FOB): TOPCon module prices dropped 1.15% to $0.086/W due to soft demand and competitive offers. First-half 2025 prices stand at $0.085/W, while second-half prices fell to $0.084/W.
- Europe (DDP): Prices declined slightly to €0.098/W as distributors manage high inventories. Market adjustments are anticipated after Chinese New Year. Residential panel prices range from €0.100/W to €0.125/W, with regional demand varying by subsidy schemes.
- US (DDP): Prices for utility-scale TOPCon modules rose 0.71% to $0.284/W, with forward estimates showing slight decreases through 2026. Developers face uncertainties due to potential changes in the Inflation Reduction Act.
