The transaction price of n-type granular silicon has dropped for the first time since the start of this year, revealing changing supply and demand dynamics in the upper stream of the solar sector. This week saw a general decline in polysilicon prices compared to March 13th, as per the data released by China’s Silicon Branch. Notably, n-type granular polysilicon witnessed its first drop of the year, falling by 1.94%. While p-type polysilicon prices remained steady, there was a slight shift in transaction focus towards lower prices. Polysilicon Type Price Range (CNY/kg) Average Price (CNY/kg) Average Price (USD/kg) Weekly Change (%) N-Type Granular Silicon 60-63 60.8 8.44 -1.94% Mono Recharge 55-64 62.8 8.71 0% Mono Dense 53-62 60 8.31 0% Mono Popcorn 50-59 55.9 7.74 0% Insights from Solarbe suggest that the polysilicon market this week was relatively quiet, with some orders still pending. The recent price inversion between n-type and p-type wafers has led to increased demand for high-quality p-type polysilicon. However, polysilicon manufacturers have yet to adjust prices, resulting in limited transactions and a gradual buildup of inventory. Expectations for future price reductions are high. Wafer Prices Drop This week, wafer prices experienced an overall decline. Faced with significant inventory and cost pressures, some wafer manufacturers have started adjusting their production schedules. Feedback from industry players indicates that accumulated wafer inventory has reached 4 billion pieces. Despite a gradual recovery in demand, there is a noticeable downward trend in wafer transaction prices. Cell, Module Prices Steady Prices for cells and modules remained stable this week. In recent tender projects, some module manufacturers have tried to increase prices. However, overall, sustaining continuous price hikes for modules is proving challenging. As we move into the second quarter and temperatures rise, the gradual roll-out of large-scale ground-mounted projects in China is expected to significantly boost market demand, positively impacting prices across the entire industry chain. If you are looking for photovoltaic modules with high cost-effectiveness, please feel free to consult Rongstar Energy.

Polysilicon With manufacturers still delivering previous orders, polysilicon prices were flat in mid-March, mostly sitting at RMB 64-69/kg. Buyers need to use polysilicon of varying purity. Still, there were some order inquiries, but negotiations were in standstill as both buyers and sellers remained cautious towards prices. Given the rising wafer inventory level, future adjustments of ingot manufacturers’ utilization rates, and price-talk deadlock, whether trading prices have declined will not be determinable until late March. Polysilicon inventory experienced a month-on-month increase. A more pronounced inventory problem will gradually emerge in the second quarter.  Wafer Wafer inventory kept increasing to 3.3-3.5 billion pieces this week, with n-type 182mm wafers accounting for the majority. Sales pressure amounts due to the persistently high production plans and continuous inventory accumulation, resulting in rapid wafer price drops. While some manufacturers were still delivering previous orders, average prices had declined and may continue falling next week. Trading prices dropped this week to RMB 2/piece, RMB 2.68-2.7/piece for p-type M10, G12 wafers, and RMB 1.85-1.9/piece, RMB 3/piece for n-type M10, G12 ones, respectively. Each saw a 2-5% decline. The wafer sector now sees a gloomy outlook as polysilicon prices held steady temporarily, staying high for n-type-ingot-use materials due to order delivery problems. On the other hand, prices slumped as wafer inventory continued rising, eroding earnings. Against these backdrops, manufacturers planned production cuts, of which the effect will not be noticeable until the first half of April.  Cell For p-type cells, trading prices remained at RMB 0.38-0.40/W for M10 and RMB 0.37-0.39/W for G12 cells this week. Prices for n-type M10 cells were relatively stable, averaging RMB 0.46-0.47/W and reaching RMB 0.48/W for ultra-high-efficiency ones. The price gap between TOPCon and PERC cells stabilized at RMB 0.08-0.09/W. G12 HJT high-efficiency cells saw prices coming in at RMB 0.6-0.7/W. With wafer prices plummeting, increases in cell prices will lose momentum despite manufacturers’ recent attempts to offer higher price quotes. Still, the profitability of n-type TOPCon cells recovered. Future price trend of cells will largely depend on whether module prices increase or not.  Module Trading prices for modules stayed still this week at RMB 0.85-0.9/W, RMB 0.88-0.96/W, and RMB 1.04-1.25/W for PERC (glass-glass), TOPCon, and HJT modules, respectively. Module manufacturers kept attempting to offer higher price quotes, which seems unlikely as some still deliver previous low-price orders below RMB 0.85/W, indicating inconsistency among their strategies. Hence, module prices will hold steady in March, with the low-price range slightly picking up. Recently, leading manufacturers have cut shipments for orders below RMB 0.88/W, potentially facilitating future price hikes.   For more solar news and solar products needs, please click www.rongstar.com

N-type solar modules have emerged as the dominant choice in tenders during January and February in China, comprising over 70% of the market share. This shift has been accompanied by a substantial 51% drop in module prices over the past year. The industry landscape has witnessed noteworthy signals as we step into 2024. Factors such as a slight uptick in polysilicon costs and lower production rates during China’s New Year holiday have prompted solar module manufacturers to hint at potential price rises. This trend was validated in recent bids where n-type module prices have increased by CNY 0.03-0.04/W compared to pre-holiday rates. However, with production resuming in March, the industry foresees a minor downward trend in supply chain prices. Examining the tender data in January and February, p-type module prices fluctuated between CNY 0.85-0.92/W. Meanwhile, n-type bids displayed a broader range, varying from CNY 0.89-0.98 CNY/W, down about 50% year-on-year. N-type dominance and shifting demand In the first two months of 2024, over 67 GW of tenders have revealed results.

The German Solar Industry Association stated that in 2023, the new installed capacity of photovoltaics in Germany was approximately 14GW, a year-on-year increase of 95%. Among them, about 7GW comes from the household sector, a year-on-year increase of 135%; Approximately 4.3GW comes from ground power stations, a year-on-year increase of 40%; Approximately 2.5GW comes from commercial roofs, with a year-on-year increase of 75%. This is the first time that Germany's annual new photovoltaic installed capacity has exceeded 10GW. As an old established photovoltaic power, as early as 2010-2012, Germany's new photovoltaic installed capacity has exceeded 7GW for three consecutive years, making it a leader in the global photovoltaic industry. But with the decline in subsidies, Germany's photovoltaic installation has also experienced a continuous decline for many years. It was not until 2022, when Europe faced an energy crisis and electricity prices skyrocketed, that Germany's annual photovoltaic installed capacity exceeded 7GW again, and it strongly supported the development of household photovoltaics to alleviate the energy crisis. However, under market demand, labor shortages have limited the development of photovoltaics in Germany and even Europe. In 2023, with policy and labor support, Germany's newly added photovoltaic installed capacity saw a significant year-on-year growth and set a new record. According to a series of laws issued by the local government, the total installed capacity of photovoltaics in Germany will reach 215GW by 2030 At the same time, a large number of photovoltaic enterprises have also emerged in Germany, hoping to build an integrated photovoltaic industry chain to meet the needs of the local and even European markets.
