Reader question
Could this change battery cost, safety, lifetime, or repairability?
Cheaper modules can reduce solar capital cost, but buyers must still assess quality, warranty strength, degradation, and supplier durability. The lowest spot price is not the full installed cost.
What to watch next.
Track sustained pricing, factory utilisation, bankruptcies, export measures, warranty providers, and whether balance-of-system costs limit project savings.
