The scientists noted that such a precipitous price drop is not unprecedented; for instance, the cost of Chinese-made photovoltaic modules fell from $4.50 per watt in 2006 to $1 per watt in 2011. The cost of a solar module in the United States accounts for 20% to 40% of the price of a photovoltaic system. —Adele Tamboli.
