Current Market Overview

Porto''s photovoltaic sector has grown 27% year-over-year, driven by Portugal''s National Energy and Climate Plan 2030. Average module prices currently range between €0.28-€0.35/Watt for polycrystalline panels, with premium monocrystalline systems reaching €0.38-€0.45/Watt.

5 Factors Shaping Solar Prices

1. Raw Material Fluctuations

Polysilicon prices dropped 15% in 2023 after 2 years of shortages. However, shipping costs from China still add 8-12% to final prices in Porto.

2. Government Incentives

Portugal''s Programa de Apoio a Edifícios Mais Sustentáveis offers up to 85% grants for solar installations. This increased demand has paradoxically stabilized prices despite global declines.
