Colombian crystalline silicon photovoltaic module prices

What is the price trend for polycrystalline modules?

We are already seeing rises of 0.5 to 1.5 euro cents per watt for polycrystalline modules. While monocrystalline modules (high-efficiency and all-black) are still broadly stable on the spot market, the price trend for polycrystalline modules is increasing.

Are mono c-Si modules still available?

Supply is particularly bad for high-efficiency mono c-Si modules. In contrast, multi modules are still plentiful, at least on the spot market. The current situation is not accurately reflected in module prices.

How many solar cells are in a photovoltaic module?

Photovoltaic modules typically feature 60 cells. They also come with standard aluminum frames, white backsheets, and a power output ranging from 275 to 325 Wp.

Are monocrystalline and polycrystalline modules still a good investment?

As of now, monocrystalline modules (high-efficiency and all-black) remain broadly stable on the spot market. However, we are seeing rises of 0.5 to 1.5 euro cents per watt for polycrystalline modules. Only buyers with existing supply agreements are purchasing at the same price as the second quarter.

Does Chile have a photovoltaic power plant?

As of May, Chile's installed photovoltaic capacity was still very small at 176 MW. However, this almost doubled in June with the inauguration of a 100 MW solar power plant designed and built by the Chilean subsidiary of the American project developer SunEdison.

What is the current trend for crystalline module prices?

The trend for crystalline module prices appears to be shifting slightly upward. As already expected, the prices for crystalline modules from every region of origin have hardly changed over the turn of the year. Inexpensive remaining shares have been almost completely swept from the market.
