Explanatory notes:
1) Only prices for PV modules are published.
2) No prices for end customers listed. For an average turnkey solar PV power system, the price for crystalline modules must be multiplied by approx. 1.5 - 1.9, the price for thin film PV modules by 1.8 – 2.5.
3) The listed prices represent the average quotations in the international PV spot market.
