Solar panel and battery prices in the Czech Republic are expected to rise by up to 20% this year due to increased material costs linked to stricter Chinese regulations on silicon processing. The elimination of VAT refunds for solar panels and reduced refunds for batteries in China will further elevate export costs. While prices are anticipated to stabilize around 20% higher by the end of 2025, a sudden surge for households is not expected, as various factors, including component and labor costs, also play a role.
