1Prices equal shipment value divided by quantity shipped.  Value includes charges for advertising and warranties.  Excluded are excise taxes and the cost of freight or transportation for the shipments. NA=Not available.   2Includes all types of photovoltaic cells and modules (single-crystal silicon, cast silicon, ribbon silicon, thin-film silicon, and concentrator silicon).  Excludes cells and modules for space and satellite applications. Note:  Shipments data are for domestic and export shipments, and may include imports that subsequently were shipped to domestic or foreign customers. 3See "Peak Kilowatt" and "Peak Watt" in Glossary.
