PV Price Watch

Prices of products across various segments of China's PV industry chain—polysilicon, wafers, cells, modules—have begun to rise recently.

According to the latest pricing data from the Silicon Industry Branch, released on 9 July, the transaction price range for n-type dense polysilicon has oscillated between RMB34,000-38,000/ton (US$4,741-5,299/ton).

N-type polysilicon prices have dropped to RMB34,000/ton as the project installation rush ends, putting cost pressure on the industrial chain.

Polysilicon prices have continued to decline slightly this week in China, while polysilicon companies initiated contract signings for moderate volumes.

The latest polysilicon pricing report from the Silicon Industry Branch reveals a lukewarm spot market with modest price drops.

China's latest tender results show the spot price of n-type modules increasing from RMB0.7/W to as much as RMB0.75/W.

Polysilicon prices have remained stable following a slight increase in supply, according to the latest figures.

LONGi Solar said that wafer prices had continued to fall below the cost since the second quarter of the year.

Against the backdrop of uncertain economics in the PV sector as a whole, the price of high-purity quartz sand has also fallen.

Polysilicon prices have stabilised but remain low, with average n-type prices dropping further, according to the latest industry data.
