Residential battery prices fell sharply in August, with low-voltage systems down 19 percent. Commercial pricing softened in both size classes, while Deye held the top brand position amid a shifting field of storage specialists.
Full Black overtook the field to become the priciest module segment, while TOPCon bifacial kept easing. The PV PMI slipped to 65, its softest reading in months and a notch below the historical average, according to sun.store data.
High-voltage residential systems cheapened further while low-voltage products firmed for the first time in months, according to sun.store data, as commercial storage pricing eased across the board.
