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 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.
