Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Module Manufacturing Costs and Sustainable Pricing: 1H 2018 Benchmark and Cost Reduction Roadmap.
Dramatic falls in the cost of energy from solar PV have been driven by the increasing cost competitiveness of the PV module itself, with crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV the dominant technology. In the last decade, the installed capacity of PV modules has grown by an order of magnitude.
This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at The cost-reduction road map illustrated in this paper yields monocrystalline-silicon module MSPs of $0.28/W in the 2020 time frame and $0.24/W in the long term (i.e., between 2030 and 2040).
Over the past decade, the crystalline-silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) industry has grown rapidly and developed a truly global supply chain, driven by increasing consumer demand for PV as well as technical advances in cell performance and manufacturing processes that enabled dramatic cost reductions.
For the wafers described here, the physical wafer plus wafer slicing kerf loss brings the silicon cost to $0.217 per monocrystalline Cz wafer and $0.236 per multicrystalline DS wafer. The kerf losses from ingot cropping, squaring, grinding, and polishing account for only about 5% of the total net kerf loss.
