PV Module Factory Cost

[Jim Avery]

Does anyone know how much it actually costs the major manufacturers like
Sharp, Kyocera, BP Solar and Shell Solar to make PV modules, FOB the factory
?

I'm seeing modules selling on the internet for less than $3.50, but this
must include some markup.

Thanks in advance for any inputs on this.

that's called a trade secret, but the cost and markup is included in the
price of the panel.
