4 FAQs about Solar site-specific energy prices

How much does a solar panel cost?

Note: Costs are expressed in constant 2024 US$ per watt. Global estimates are used before 2010; European market benchmarks thereafter due to limited data availability. Solar photovoltaic module prices refer to the cost of the solar panel itself, and do not include installation or other system components.

What are solar energy cost benchmarks?

These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs and guide SETO research and development programs. Read more to find out how these cost benchmarks are modeled and download the data and cost modeling program below.

How much does a solar module cost?

Average price of solar modules, expressed in US dollars per watt, adjusted for inflation. Data source: IRENA (2025); Nemet (2009); Farmer and Lafond (2016) – Learn more about this data Note: Costs are expressed in constant 2024 US$ per watt.

Does solar PV cost a government bond?

Both show negative solar PV premiums ranging from -2% to -2.7%, which means that we calculate a financing cost for solar PV that is below the financing cost for the government, i.e., a 10-year government bond. While there may be cases where this is plausible, it is unlikely for Brazil and China.
