The TaiyangNews PV Price Index more or less returned to its ‘mostly stable’ trend in Calendar Week 37. Products upstream didn’t see any price changes WoW, while those downstream saw a few.
Having seen rare price increases, albeit small, in CW36, polysilicon prices remained unchanged in CW37.
Wafer prices were stable WoW. Notably, the p-type 210 mm 150 µm wafer broke its 5-week declining trend in CW37, seeing no price changes WoW.
Somewhat mirroring CW36, PERC cell types maintained their prices, while the TOPCon 182 mm and 210 mm cells were down 1.8% and 3.3% WoW, respectively.
PERC bifacial 182 mm module was down 2.6% WoW in CW37; p-type bifacial 210 mm was down 1.3%, while the 210 mm HJT module was down 1.2% WoW.
PERC bifacial 182 mm module was down 2.6% WoW in CW37; p-type bifacial 210 mm was down 1.3%, while the 210 mm HJT module was down 1.2% WoW.
A bit past the 2/3rd mark in CY2024, the TaiyangNews PV Price Index has seen greater price declines upstream. Even as 2 polysilicon types saw a price uptick last week, all Chinese polysilicon types have seen close to 40% price declines YtD. Among wafers, the n-type 182 mm variant has lost exactly half its value YtD, at 50.0%. The decline for the TOPCon 182 mm cell (down 41.7% YtD) has been disproportionate among cell types. Module prices have been relatively stable so far this year, losing only up to 26.5%. And finally, solar glass prices have declined in the 14% to 25% range YtD.
