For island communities prioritizing both budget and eco-conscious choices, this market hits the sweet spot.

Key Price Determinants for Used PV Modules

• Age & Usage History: 5-year-old panels typically retain 80% efficiency
• Brand Reputation: Tier-1 manufacturers' products command 15-20% price premiums
• Local Market Dynamics: Shipping costs impact final pricing significantly
