In an effort to look at the ever changing pricing situation in the photovoltaic industry, Strategies Unlimited and SPV Market Research are pleased to announce a new report covering PV cell and module pricing. This new report, written by Paula Mints, entitled The Q4 2012 PV Technology Price Update provides an analysis of quantitative shipment, capacity and module price data for the supply side of the photovoltaic industry. The report describes how the current low incentive, high inventory environment affects the price/Wp of PV cells and modules. This report focuses on the near term pricing environment for PV modules to the first buyer (installer, system integrator, module assembler, technology manufacturer or end user), offers an estimate for 2012 shipments to the first point of sale, and discusses the competitive environment for thin film and crystalline technology.

The content of the report is organized into the following sections:

  • 2012 Global Market Overview: Provides an update on the current environment for buying/selling PV technology.
  • 2012 PV Technology Pricing Trends: Analyzes 2012 pricing for ASPs to the first point of sale (first buyer), pricing for high efficiency technologies and inventory pricing.
  • System Price Trends: Provides an overview of system pricing using the US as a base.
  • 2013 PV Technology Price and Shipment Outlook and Forecast: Offers a near term forecast for PV technology prices and shipments for 2013
