I have recently bought a 3kw installation of only 2.40 euro/w (currently +/- 3.15 USD/w)

For all Belgian readers : http://www.ikwilzonnepanelen.com as they will provide you with the best service there is to offer in Belgium.

The $3.90/W end of second quarter has fallen to $3.69. It’s on the smaller systems that we’re really far behind.

2 MW residential rooftop -$7.06/W
50MW ground mounted – $5.08/W
500MW on flat-topped large building roof – $3.69/W

All prices subsidy-free. Installation costs included.

* Our dropping prices are largely due to falling component prices. Panels were down 7% in September and inverters were down as well. Those price drops would have also worked to pull down Germany’s prices.
