Report Empirical analysis of factors influencing price of solar modules The solar energy market has seen huge growth in recent years with a vast increase in solar cumulative capacity worldwide. One of the key drivers behind this growth is the decline in solar module prices. Thus, the price reduction mechanism in solar modules has become an important topic as the role of solar electricity in the overall energy supply and the market value of solar modules grow globally. In this paper, an oligopolistic model and econometric method are used to determine the economic factors that have an influence on solar module prices.
