After several years of tension on material and transport costs, module prices plummeted in a massively over-supplied market, maintaining the competitivity of PV even as electricity prices decreased after historical peaks in 2022. Major trends include:
BloombergNEF says it has recorded a 14% decline in battery prices this year, mainly due to cheaper raw materials, following an unprecedented rise in 2022. BloombergNEF said in its latest annual study on lithium-ion batteries that the average price of battery packs has fallen this year to $139/kWh, or 14% less than the average of $161/kWh in 2022.
By Jenny Chase, Solar, BloombergNEF The photovoltaic industry added about 444 gigawatts of new capacity in 2023, a 76% growth on 2022 build. Prices of solar modules are at record lows, and supply of components is plentiful. End-user markets are booming while manufacturers struggle to make a profit. Installations this year will top 520GW.
Photovoltaics: The ongoing advancements in high-efficiency batteries and breakthroughs in N-type battery technology will stimulate demand and foster further development of various sub-sectors within the photovoltaic industry chain.
BNEF said that local battery manufacturing in regions such as the United States and Europe can drive up prices in the short term due to the price of energy, equipment, land and labor in these regions compared to Asia. “However, as the industry matures, these costs could end up falling,” it said.
The continued rise in demand for high-efficiency photovoltaic cells reinforces the dominant position of N-type cells with TOPCon applications. Currently, market penetration of N-type cells stands at 25% to 30%, and it is projected to increase to 65% to 70% by 2024.
