Solar panel price and quotation guide

A practical guide for importers and distributors comparing module prices, delivery scope and order conditions.

Prepared by JUNCAT · Reviewed 30 September 2026

Direct answer

How much do wholesale solar panels cost?

There is no reliable universal price for every solar panel. A useful B2B price is tied to a dated model, rated power, construction, quantity, packing plan, currency and named delivery basis. Send the destination, target model or reference datasheet, quantity and timing; JUNCAT will return an order-specific quotation rather than publish a price that may already be out of date.

Price factors

Six inputs that change a module quotation.

Model and technology

TOPCon, HJT, bifacial, all-black and other constructions have different cells, glass, frame and bill-of-material requirements.

Rated power and efficiency

Compare the same model and rated power. Price per watt must use the confirmed nameplate rating.

Quantity and packing

MOQ, modules per pallet, pallet design and full-container loading affect the commercial basis.

OEM and customization

Labels, frame finish, cables, connectors, packaging or buyer-defined construction may change cost and minimum quantity.

Documents and inspection

Model-specific test files, destination documents and agreed third-party inspection need to be scoped before order.

Delivery basis and timing

EXW location, FOB port, availability, production window and quotation validity must be stated together.

Comparable calculation

Use one price-per-watt formula.

Price per watt = quoted module unit price ÷ confirmed rated module power in watts. Use the same currency, quantity, model and delivery scope for every supplier. Do not divide by an estimated bifacial energy gain.

Quotation scope

Separate the module price from the logistics chain.

Module-only basisModel, rated power, unit price, quantity and module-only total.
EXW quotationName the collection place and list included or excluded loading, export and local handling items.
FOB China quotationName the loading port and state the agreed export and port-cost scope.
Freight and insuranceShow ocean freight, insurance and validity separately when they are included in the discussion.
Destination chargesImport duties, tax, customs, inland transport and local compliance costs depend on the destination and buyer route.
Packing and loadingConfirm modules per pallet, pallet count, total modules and nameplate wattage from the selected loading plan.
Commercial timingState quote date, validity, stock or production basis, readiness window and payment terms.
A cleaner comparison

Compare offers in three passes.

1 · Match the product

Confirm model revision, technology, power, dimensions, weight and construction.

2 · Match the scope

Use the same currency, quantity, EXW place or FOB port and list exclusions.

3 · Match the order evidence

Review warranty issuer, applicable documents, packing plan, availability and inspection arrangement.

Pricing questions

Four answers before comparing offers.

Does JUNCAT publish a fixed solar panel price list?

No. Module and logistics conditions change, so prices are provided in a dated, order-specific quotation. The website explains the comparison basis but does not present permanent stock or price promises.

Is the lowest price per watt always the best offer?

No. Compare the final model, construction, warranty issuer, document scope, packing, delivery basis, payment and availability. A lower number with a different scope is not a like-for-like quotation.

Can I request both EXW and FOB prices?

Yes. Name the required EXW place and FOB China port. Each quotation should identify its currency, validity and the charges included or excluded.

Why can two quotations for the same power class differ?

The technology route, module dimensions, bill of materials, appearance, quantity, packing, documents, timing and delivery basis may differ. Ask both suppliers to quote the same confirmed specification.

Request a dated offer

Send the model, quantity and destination.

Email a reference datasheet or send the power class, application, quantity, delivery basis and required shipment window. No website form is required.
