By 2010, prices had dropped to approximately $7.50 per watt, and since then, the decline has been even steeper. In 2024, the average cost of solar panels is around $1 per watt, a monumental reduction that has revolutionized the solar industry. The primary factors contributing to this decline in cost include:
NREL’s solar technology cost analysis examines the technology costs and supply chain issues for solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies. This work informs research and development by identifying drivers of cost and competitiveness for solar technologies.
