Photovoltaic panel cost performance comparison
To find the most up-to-date solar panel costs in 2025, we compared research from the U. This chart refers to the average cost range across all common solar system sizes. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and its national laboratory partners analyze cost data for U. solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to develop cost benchmarks. These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs. . Solar panel efficiency is the amount of sunlight (solar irradiance) that falls on the surface of a solar panel and is converted into electricity. . Our solar panel comparison tool assesses important performance metrics such as power output, efficiency, and temperate coefficient. Five brands stood out: Maxeon, REC, Canadian Solar, Silifab, and CW Energy. Prices are compiled from three sources: Nemet (2009) for 1975-2003, Farmer & Lafond (2016) for 2004-2009, and IRENA for 2010 onward.
