The updated guide to photovoltaic module prices shows the latest costs of solar panels across Europe. In August, high-efficiency modules dropped to €0.12 per watt, marking an all-time low for the sector. Prices for photovoltaic modules in 2024 continue to fall.
The PV technology segment is anticipated to cross 174.5 billion by 2034. The Europe solar EPC market size exceeded USD 90.9 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2034, driven by infrastructure upgrades and sustainable energy integration.
With roughly 79 GW of solar PV in operation at the end of October 2023, Germany’s installed capacity remains the highest in Europe. Germany seeks to fulfil the commitment of its government coalition formed at the end of 2021 to reach 22 GW of yearly installed solar PV by 2026 targeting a total installed PV capacity of 215 GW for 2030.
High-Efficiency Photovoltaic Modules: Average price of €0.13/Wp, down 7.1% compared to October 2024. 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.
