O average price for installing photovoltaic systems for homes in Brazil reached, in the third quarter of this year, R$/Wp 3.17 – the lowest index since the beginning of the Solfácil Radar, in 2022. The indicator also showed a drop of 11% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
According to the study, the price drop was driven by dollar reduction It's from international shipping cost, which fell by around 77% in the last year, reducing the cost of transporting solar panels.
Furthermore, the increase in production capacity and the dynamics between inventory and turnover also contributed to the movement. Already the polysilicon price, the main raw material for the production of photovoltaic solar panels, remained stable during the period considered.
O study was built from the analysis of financing requests for residential projects made to Solfácil between the months of July 2022 and September 2023. Access the full study.

I commented without reading it properly, disregard it.
Good morning!
This is not the reality in Alfenas MG, here there are people working almost for free and the average value here is no more than R$1.00 per wp and is often below that!

Is there any reason other than market availability or price that justifies the use of the first 3 brands of inverters? For example, being a reference for quality, greater guarantee, durability, etc.
Excellent information for customers who have been waiting for better and affordable prices on the market.
