Get a quoteSearch4Solar, a European platform for buying and selling solar panels, inverters, and batteries, received a record-low PV module price this week at €0.055 ($0.058) /W. “ This is the first time the €0.06/W threshold was surpassed,” Leen Van Bellen, business development manager Europe at Search4Solar told pv magazine.
Solar module prices reached a new low this week, says Leen van Bellen, business development manager Europe for Search4Solar, a European purchasing and selling platform for solar products. He tells pv magazine that prices will remain low in the short term.
Mainstream Modules: Average price of €0.11/Wp, stable compared to September but 21.4% lower than January 2024. Low-Cost Modules: Average price of €0.065/Wp, a 7.1% decrease from September and 27.8% from January 2024. These trends are exerting mounting pressure on the photovoltaic sector.
Surpassing the €0.06/W threshold may indicate that solar module prices in the European market have hit their lowest point. “ This is the bottom in the EU,” Van Bellen said. “The next step could be shipping back the products to China or selling them in Africa.”
Mainstream Photovoltaic Panels: Average price of €0.10/Wp, down 9.1% month-on-month. Low-Cost Photovoltaic Modules: Average price of €0.060/Wp, a decrease of 7.7% compared to the previous month. These figures underscore the significant pressures in the photovoltaic market, as price reductions strain margins to unprecedented levels.
But let’s take a closer look at the figures recorded in January 2025: Photovoltaic modules with monocrystalline or bifacial HJT cells, N-type/TOPCon or xBC (Back Contact) and their combinations, with efficiencies above 22.5%.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
