According to a report from sun.store, the selling price for several solar photovoltaic module technologies in Europe rose from January to February of this year. The average price for bifacial TOPCon modules increased by nine percent month-on-month, while monofacial TOPCon modules saw a ten percent rise. Full black modules and back contact modules experienced price increases of eight and seven percent, respectively.
This movement resulted in all four of those technology types reaching an average price above 0.1 euros per watt-peak for the first time since the company began tracking such data. Monofacial TOPCon modules became the most expensive type, averaging 0.109 euros per watt-peak, a level not seen since April 2025. Both bifacial TOPCon and full black modules had crossed that price threshold more recently. The price for monofacial PERC modules remained stable and did not increase.
The report indicates these pricing trends reflect greater demand and confidence in newer module solutions, which are gaining stronger pricing support. TOPCon bifacial prices are noted to be nearly twenty percent higher than their lowest point in mid-2025. This shift occurs as the industry moves toward TOPCon technology and away from PERC, despite some studies having highlighted concerns about power degradation rates with the newer technology.
These concerns do not appear to be affecting buyer sentiment, as the European PV Purchasing Managers Index remained high in February. Based on a survey of users, over half of respondents expect to increase purchases in the coming months, contributing to an index score of 69. This figure matches the level reported in January and represents a significant increase from a low point in December 2025.
Brand popularity for solar panels in Europe showed less consistency than pricing. JA Solar became the most popular panel brand in February, moving up from second place, while the previous month’s leader fell to third position. The report links this to dynamic competition among major manufacturers, following industry plans to shift toward value competition after a period of significant price declines.
Inverter prices have also shown fluctuation recently. Between January and February, the average price for smaller hybrid inverters fell by three percent, while larger hybrid inverter prices dropped by two percent. Brand popularity for inverters has been more stable, with one supplier maintaining its position as the most popular hybrid inverter brand for three consecutive months. Two other brands have held the top two positions for string inverters since October 2025.
