6 FAQs about [Solar power generation materials prices rise]
Will higher raw material prices increase solar power costs?
John Martin, chief executive of the US Solar Fund, said higher raw material prices will probably increase the costs of installing new solar power by 20 per cent — putting solar costs back to the levels they were two years ago. “Decarbonisation costs will come down, but it’s not going to be free — capital will be required,” he said.
Why are solar costs increasing?
Solar costs for residential, commercial, and utility projects have risen for the first time since 2014. The primary cause of these increased costs is a jump in prices for raw materials, such as steel and aluminum. Additionally, elevated shipping costs contributed to the price hike.
Why did solar module prices rise 18 percent in the past year?
After a 90-percent drop over the past decade, solar module prices rose 18 percent the past year as raw material prices went up. A key selling point that made solar energy the fastest-growing power source in the world—rapidly decreasing costs—has hit a speed bump.
How will rising commodity prices affect solar energy production?
Rising commodity prices have increased the cost of producing solar PV modules, wind turbines and biofuels worldwide. This situation has short-term implications for equipment manufacturers, project developers and policy makers.
What's happening to solar power?
We’ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Solar power news every morning. The rapid rise in prices for raw materials has reversed a decades-long decline in the cost of solar energy, denting investor interest in the sector following a record rally in 2020.
How has the price of industrial materials changed since Q1 2021?
Prices for many industrial materials, and freight costs, have been on an increasing trajectory since Q1 2021, pushing up wind turbine and solar PV costs. Since the beginning of 2020 the price of PV-grade polysilicon has more than quadrupled, steel has increased by 50%, copper by 60% and aluminium by 80%.
