Global solar panel pricing varies wildly. Manufacturing locations dramatically affect final costs. China produces the world’s cheapest solar panels at $0.13-$0.18/watt. Vietnam and Malaysia follow at $0.18-$0.22/watt. US/EU panels cost $0.30-$0.50/watt. Key Insight: Cheapest doesn’t mean lowest quality.
Another measure of the relative cost of solar energy is its price per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Whereas the price per watt considers the solar system’s size, the price per kWh shows the price of the solar system per unit of energy it produces over a given period of time. Net cost of the system / lifetime output = cost per kilowatt hour
Pro tip: It can be helpful to know your solar price per watt before and after claiming the 30% tax credit. Ultimately, many factors figure into the price per watt of a solar system, but the average cost is typically as low as $2.75 per watt.
Prices have dropped significantly, but quality varies widely across suppliers and system types. A complete 5kW solar system in China costs ¥15,000-¥30,000 ($2,100-$4,200), with Tier-1 panels from Longi or Jinko at ¥0.9-¥1.3 ($0.13-$0.18) per watt. Installation adds 10-20% to the total price.
