Monocrystalline solar panels have several features that set them apart from other types of solar panels: High Efficiency: One of the primary advantages of monocrystalline solar panels is their high efficiency
Customer ServiceMonocrystalline panels are composed of monocrystalline cells obtained by cutting slices of silicon ingots through the Czochralski system. This is a process in which a crystal seed is inserted into a silicon melt, inside which the seed rotates vertically counterclockwise and, by immersing very slowly, causes the melt itself to crystallize in an orderly manner on the seed

Customer ServiceThis report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at The cost-reduction road map illustrated in this paper yields monocrystalline-silicon module MSPs of $0.28/W in the 2020 time frame and $0.24/W in the long term (i.e., between 2030 and 2040).
Module price is calculated by summing the component costs and adding a 15% margin representing the module manufacturer's profit. Cost of the glass on the front surface of the module. Cost of PV cells. In the case of crystalline silicon modules, complete cells are included but interconnects are not.
To optimize the final price of the PV module, all four cost categories should be minimized simultaneously across the supply chain. A model for local production should consider other influences including the size of the local market and export prospects. A large local market enables economies of scale, an important contributor to cost reductions.
The model optimizes for lowest cost for the domestic module assembly in Australia and finds that for a 600 MW factory, the cost of local manufacturing of 0.308 USD/Wp exceeds the cost of imported modules of 0.274 USD/Wp by 12%.
The comparison of imported and manufactured PV modules for the 600 MW local factory shows that, when including trade and logistics costs, the imported PV module price is 0.274 USD/Wp (see Figure S8). At least a 12% reduction in cost is required for the optimized local manufacturing cost to compete with imported modules.
The analysis compares an optimized cost for local module manufacturing, by considering the average selling price of each input material, with the average selling price of the imported PV module in the local market. The average selling price is used as the most robust available metric.
