For historical secondary market PV module pricing from 2020 through 2023, download the 2023 PV Module Price Index from EnergyBin’s Resources portal. Overall, the price index shows that new PV modules don’t tend to lose resale value in the U.S. secondary market unless their technology is older, such as Legacy POLY modules.
The PV Module Price Index tracks wholesale pricing and supply of crystalline-silicon modules that have fallen out of traditional distribution channels, and as a result are listed for resale on the EnergyBin exchange.
For Solar PV, the LCOE calculation includes: Utility solar PV pricing refers to the cost of large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects that supply electricity to the grid, typically operated by utilities or independent power producers (IPPs).
For example, N-Type modules by REC listed for resale in May and July pushed up weighted average prices to $0.411 and $0.460 respectively. P-Type modules in September increased to $0.311 as modules by Sirius PV, Solar4America, and Panasonic were remarketed. The same price increase was present in P-Type Bifacials for the month of December.
