Why this data holds up
Grounded in real transaction activity
Pricing and demand figures draw on actual marketplace listings and completed deals, not a survey panel or a manufacturer's self-reported figures.
Frequently asked
How often is market insight data refreshed?
Market insights refresh on a regular schedule the trade can plan around, with price-per-watt benchmarks and supply alerts updated frequently enough to stay actionable. The exact cadence varies by data type, with pricing and supply signals moving more often than slower indicators like policy analysis.
Does market insights data come from actual Sunhub transactions or third-party sources?
Pricing and demand signals are grounded in real transaction activity on the marketplace, which is what makes the price-per-watt benchmarks reflect what equipment is actually clearing at. That transaction data is supplemented with policy, tariff, and supply-chain inputs for context, but the core benchmarks come from real deal flow rather than list prices alone.
Can market data be used to support a bid or financing conversation?
Yes. Price-per-watt benchmarks and supply alerts grounded in real transaction activity give you defensible reference points when justifying a bid or discussing pricing with a lender. Treat them as market context to support your numbers rather than a guaranteed quote, since your actual landed cost depends on the specific equipment, quantity, and terms.
Real-time Price per Watt
Live pricing indices across panel, inverter and storage classes, refreshed against real marketplace activity.
Panel, inverter and storage pricing side by side
Price-per-watt and price-per-kWh figures track across module, inverter and battery storage categories, refreshed against real listing and transaction activity on the marketplace rather than a survey.
Broken out by technology where it matters
Where technology meaningfully affects price, TOPCon versus older module construction, for instance, the index separates figures rather than blending them into one misleading average.
Directly useful for a live bid
A pricing figure refreshed against real activity is defensible in a bid conversation in a way a quarterly industry report can't match.
Supply Chain Alerts
Notifications on sourcing disruptions, from tariff actions to manufacturer capacity constraints.
Disruptions across the full supply chain
Alerts cover events from polysilicon supply constraints through cell and module manufacturing capacity changes, tracking where a bottleneck is forming before it shows up as a lead-time surprise.
Trade actions that shift sourcing overnight
New AD/CVD determinations or UFLPA entity list additions can immediately change which origins are viable, and alerts flag those shifts as they're announced.
Brand Tier Comparisons
Manufacturer bankability tier data for screening which brands clear financing due diligence.
What bankability tier actually measures
Tier classification reflects manufacturer financial stability, shipment track record and financing-partner recognition, not panel wattage or efficiency, and this guide covers how the two get conflated.
Tier status doesn't guarantee compliance status
A Tier 1 bankability rating and FEOC-clean or domestic-content-qualified sourcing status are separate questions, and this guide covers why both need checking independently rather than assuming one implies the other.
How to use tier data when vetting a new brand
Guidance on screening an unfamiliar manufacturer against tier data as one input among several, not a stand-alone approval signal.
Policy & Tariff News
Tracking of tariff determinations, tax credit rules and interconnection policy as they develop.
Tax credit timing and eligibility rules
48E and 45Y begin-construction and placed-in-service deadlines, domestic content bonus thresholds and FEOC material-assistance rules as they're clarified or amended.
Trade actions and tariff determinations
AD/CVD rulings, Section 201 and 301 actions, and UFLPA enforcement developments tracked as they're announced.
Interconnection reform progress
FERC Order 2023 implementation and utility-specific queue reform efforts tracked for how they affect project timelines.
Demand Heatmaps
Regional demand visualization by segment and equipment category, tracking where installs are actually concentrated.
Demand by region and segment together
Installation activity maps by geography and segment simultaneously, showing where utility-scale demand is concentrated versus where commercial or trade-residential activity is strongest.
Grounded in real marketplace and queue data
Demand signals draw on marketplace search and quote activity alongside publicly tracked interconnection queue data, rather than a single data source.
Sentiment Tracker
Buyer and seller sentiment data on where the market feels like it's headed.
A leading indicator, not a hard number
Sentiment reflects how buyers and sellers on the platform feel about near-term direction, which can move ahead of pricing and demand data but should be read as a signal, not a forecast.
Collected from active platform participants
Data draws on survey responses and behavioral signals from buyers and sellers actually transacting on the marketplace, not a general industry poll.
