Sticking to its recent trend of relative stability, the TaiyangNews PV Price Index saw another stable week in Calendar Week 33.
Polysilicon prices have maintained their levels since seeing mid-single-digit price declines in CW25.
Like CW32, the p-type 210 mm was the only wafer type to see price movement in CW33, declining -2.9% WoW.
Prices for all cell types were flat WoW, while the TOPCon n-type 210 mm cell is down -3.0% MoM.
After 4 weeks of no price movements, the TOPCon module category saw a decline of -2.5% in CW33. However, the module category has been the most stable one in the TaiyangNews PV Price Index this year.
Solar glass prices were stable WoW, after the 3.2 mm solar glass declined -1.9% and the 2.0 mm (thinner) glass declined -4.2% in CW30.
While there has been relative stability over the last 9 weeks, the TaiyangNews PV Price Index has seen considerable declines in CY2024. All Chinese polysilicon types have crossed the -40.2% mark YtD. Among wafers, the n-type 182 mm variant has lost exactly half its value YtD, at -50.0%. Declines in cell prices are approaching -40.0% YtD, while modules have been relatively stable so far this year, losing only up to -21.6%.
