Calendar Week 29 is the 5th week in a trend of relative price stagnation for the TaiyangNews PV Price Index, with only 3 products seeing price movements from CW28. 

The polysilicon category has maintained prices since seeing mid-single-digit price declines in CW25.

Wafer prices have been stable for 8 consecutive weeks now, with no price changes seen since CW21.

While PERC cells were flat WoW, the TOPCon n-type 182 mm was down -3.3%, and the TOPCon 210 mm variety was down -5.7% WoW. 

TOPCon modules saw -1.2% decline in prices this week. And similar to cells, PERC module varieties maintained their prices WoW.

Solar glass prices have remained stable since CW15 when the 3.2 mm (thicker) variant saw a 2.0% increase.
