Many NREL manufacturing cost analyses use a bottom-up modeling approach. The costs of materials, equipment, facilities, energy, and labor associated with each step in the production process are individually modeled. Input data for this analysis method are collected through primary interviews with PV manufacturers and.

Technologies based on crystalline silicon (c-Si) dominate the current PV market, and their MSPs are the lowest; the figure only shows the MSP for monocrystalline monofacial passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) modules, but benchmark MSPs are similar ($0.25–$0.27/W) across the c-Si technologies we analyze.
The material intensity of silicon in c-Si PV shows a notable drop and a more detailed analysis estimates that the silicon intensity in solar PV panels will decrease from 1.1805 (kg/panel) to 1.0732 between 2020 and 2030.
