We take pride in having created what we believe is the PV industry’s most comprehensive cost forecasting model
Our approach combines traditional top-down demand-based market analysis with a bottom-up manufacturing cost model that takes account of technical developments as well as the costs of materials, equipment, consumables, energy and personnel. This combination allows us to produce technology and market forecasts of unrivalled accuracy, helping our customers to successfully navigate the solar industry.
Exawatt’s and CRU‘s combined methodologies provide expansive intel on global commodities, technologies and costs. Together, we provide vital energy transition insights to our stakeholders.
