Shipping costs depend on panel size, weight, distance, transport mode, and packaging requirements. Choosing between LTL, FTL, or expedited services can influence pricing, with faster services
Contact UsThe cost of a solar module has decreased significantly since 2006. The average value of solar PV module shipments, a proxy for price, decreased from $3.50 per peak watt in 2006 to $0.40 per peak watt in 2019.
Solar PV module shipments include imports, exports, and modules produced and sold domestically, but they exclude modules shipped for resale. These shipments have steadily increased since 2006, driven by significant price declines and policy incentives that encourage solar PV installation.
