wafer prices

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.

LONGi Green Energy announced the latest silicon wafer prices on 3 March, with quotes for p-type M10 150μm mono wafers (182/247mm) increasing by 4%.

Polysilicon prices have continued their downward slump, with a weekly decrease of 20%, now nearing the US$20/kg mark.

Polysilicon prices have fallen off a cliff since mid-late December and the downward trend is expected to continue at least until the Chinese new year.

Solar manufacturer LONGi revised the price of its M10 and M6 p-type wafers before the end of 2022 with a sharp decline.

Price monitoring institutions released the latest prices across the PV industrial chain on 15 December, all showing a downward trend.

Silicon wafer prices declined last week, according to figures from the Silicon Industry Branch of the China Nonferrous Metal Industry Association.

Following news of lower silicon material prices, silicon wafer giant LONGi Green Energy has announced a small reduction in its wafer prices.

TCL Zhonghuan cut the price of its solar wafers for the first time this year, with this trend expected to continue as new production capacity comes online across the industry.
