What is the margin (profit) on solar panels?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) February 10th, 2023 from iPhone

How much does it cost to produce a solar panel, and how much do they sell for at cost and at retail?

I’ve always assumed the spread is large and the manufacturers and installers make out like bandits on each sale, but maybe they could do better lowering their price and selling more volume. I could be totally wrong. I tried to Google and can’t find what I’m looking for.

Prices have come down in the last few years from what I understand.

For this Q I am not interested in tax credits or deductions that are offered when buying solar.
