The average dropped drastically for solar cells in the decades leading up to 2017. While in 1977 prices for cells were about $77 per watt, average spot prices in August 2018 were as low as $0.13 per watt or nearly 600 times less than forty years ago. Prices for and for c-Si were around $.60 per watt. Module and cell prices declined even further after 2014 (see pr.
