Notes on reading the PV price index

  1. Only prices for photovoltaic modules are shown.
  2. The prices are not end-customer prices. For an average turnkey solar system in Germany, the quoted modules prices should be multiplied by a factor of approximately 4 to 6.
  3. The prices stated reflect the average prices quoted on the European Spot Market (Chinese goods customs-cleared).

Origin-based prices for crystalline modules are no longer applicable since August 2017.

Prices for thin film modules are no longer applicable since September 2013.
