STAC report in partnership with PVEL

Exawatt’s PV team offers a wide range of services from market tracking and forecasting to manufacturing cost review. Read on below to find out more

In 2020, Exawatt partnered with PVEL to provide ongoing research and consulting services to downstream PV developers. PVEL is the leading independent testing lab for the global downstream PV industry

Talk to our team

Together, Exawatt and PVEL offer a quarterly Solar Technology and Cost (STAC) report, designed for module buyers in the U.S. This report is a high-level view of market evolutions and module price/wattage forecasts. Unlike our own manufacturing cost report, this report does not include breakdowns of cost estimates/forecasts by step (wafer/cell/module) or materials/process details.

Highlights from the latest STAC report are available here: https://www.pvel.com/blog-key-takeaways-from-the-q2-stac/
