Sep 25, 2014 - The average spot price for silicon solar photovoltaic (PV) modules remained unchanged in the week ended September 24 at USD 0.610 (EUR 0.478) per watt, according to data by research firm PVinsights.

Meanwhile, the spot price for a thin-film modules marked a 0.31% decline in the past seven days to USD 0.646 per watt.

No change was registered in PV cell prices. Multi-crystalline silicon (multi-Si) cells traded at USD 1.349 per 156-sq-mm piece and the price for mono-crystalline silicon (mono-Si) cells of the same size averaged at USD 1.909. The spot price for Taiwan-made polysilicon cells also remained flat at USD 0.321/watt.

Moving up the supply chain, the price for multi-si wafers was USD 0.855 per 156-sq-mm piece, which is 1.06% higher than a week earlier. Mono-si wafers of the same size were selling at the same price as in the previous seven days, USD 1.193.
