PV Tech’s Review of the Year continues with a look back at some of the headlines from the third quarter of 2020

Trina Solar has signed another upstream manufacturing supply agreement, penning a long-term high purity polysilicon supply deal with Daqo New Energy.

In the first of a two-part feature Joseph C. Johnson, technology and quality senior analyst at Clean Energy Associates, explores recent polysilicon price volatility and its impact on the upstream solar sector.

The announcement from Tongwei on 10 August disclosing new cell price rises was a surprise for the whole PV industry. Compared to its previous quote on 24 July, the price of poly cells rose by another 6 USD cents/W, with a further increase of 8 cents/W for 156.75mm, 158.75mm and 166mm mono cells.

Morgan Stanley has taken a 5.1% stake in China-based polysilicon producer Daqo new Energy, according to an SEC filing.

China-based polysilicon production Daqo New Energy Corp said polysilicon shipments to third-parties would continue to decline as in-house wafer production continued to expand and its polysilicon facilities running at full-capacity.
