According to EUPD Research's Price and Inventory Tracker Premium Q1 2026 marked a clear shift in solar PV pricing dynamics, with net installer purchase prices moving away from the relative stability seen in Q4 2025. TOPCon modules recorded the strongest increases, particularly among European-headquartered and non-Chinese manufacturers (15.1%), as upstream cost recovery and supply chain pressures pushed prices higher. Chinese-headed manufactruers saw an increase of 3.8% in prices.
