Solar cell efficiency rose by a price increase

Solar cell efficiency rose by a price increase Recent market trends show that high-efficiency solar products with competitive pricing are increasingly becoming the focus of industry innovation. In terms of component pricing, each step up in conversion efficiency typically adds about $0.03 per watt to the cost. For battery cells, efficiency improvements can range from 3% to 5% per grade level. Meanwhile, a noticeable price gap exists between standard and high-end silicon wafers. In the first half of 2013, standard products were priced between $0.80 and $0.88 per unit, while premium options ranged from $0.88 to $1.00, creating a spread of $0.08 to $0.12 (around 10%) per unit. On the other hand, rooftop solar systems have become a major focus of government incentives, driving growth in decentralized markets such as residential and small-to-medium commercial sectors in mature regions like Europe, North America, and Japan. According to EnergyTrend, the share of the residential decentralized market is expected to surpass 50% in 2015, becoming the primary driver of future demand. As a result, many leading solar manufacturers, including First Solar, are investing heavily in R&D for high-efficiency solar cells. The push for more efficient and cost-effective solutions is now a critical battleground for solar power plants aiming to stay competitive in an evolving industry.
