Shanghai Metals Market

Polysilicon prices dropped across the board as of 8 May, according to the latest report from metals market research company Shanghai Metals Market.

The Silicon Industry Association has reported that silicon wafer prices have continued to fall due to an oversupply of silicon.

Silicon prices have marginally increased in the last week, according to the latest figures from the Silicon Industry Branch of China Nonferrous Metal Industry Association published on 15 February.

The Silicon Industry Branch said that silicon material prices continued to climb last week, seeing a weekly growth of about 11%.

With silicon material and wafer prices on the rise, the impact is being felt further downstream amid warnings module prices could continue increasing this month.
