Frequently asked questions

Chinese high-efficiency module prices increased by 6% from Q3 to Q4 2025. This marked the first price rise for Chinese manufacturers in this segment after a prolonged period of decline, signaling a notable shift in the photovoltaic market dynamics during Q4 2025.

German and European manufacturers experienced further price decreases for their high-efficiency modules from Q2 to Q4 2025. This indicates a sustained downward pressure on prices for these regional producers, contrasting with the price increases observed among Chinese manufacturers in the same period.

The price decline for ‘other manufacturers’ of high-efficiency modules significantly moderated, decreasing from -21% in Q2 to Q3 2025 to -5% in Q3 to Q4 2025. This indicates a substantial slowdown in the rate of price erosion for this segment of the market, even as prices continued to fall.
