In April, the average price of 280Ah square LFP energy storage battery cells was 0.38 yuan/Wh, down 8% MoM, versus 0.44 yuan/Wh for 100Ah square LFP energy storage battery cells, down 2% MoM.

According to SMM, as of the end of April, the theoretical cost of 280Ah energy storage battery cells was 0.341 yuan/Wh. In April, driven by the rising prices of LFP cathodes, copper and aluminum, the cost of 280Ah energy storage battery cells increased. However, due to the high inventory levels of battery cell companies and the persisting overcapacity in the industry, the prices of 280Ah energy storage battery cells fell. Looking ahead, although industry inventory declined, the prices of 280Ah square LFP energy storage battery cells may still have a downward trend amid the accelerated iteration of 300+Ah battery cells and intensified competition among enterprises.

[SMM PV News] Maine Becomes Second US State to Pass Plug-in Balcony Solar Legislation

Maine has become the second US state to legalize plug-in solar systems with the signing of LD 1730. The law permits residents to use UL 3700-certified systems up to 420 W via standard outlets, while units up to 1,200 W require a licensed electrician. Although these systems are ineligible for net energy billing, they can reduce household electricity costs by nearly 20%, saving users approximately $388 per year. Maine's decision reflects a rising national interest in accessible solar, as 34 other states are currently pursuing similar legislation.
