Polysilicon production in April was 181,200 mt (+5.8% MoM) in China, mainly thanks to capacity ramp-up of new production lines.

Polysilicon production in April was 181,200 mt (+5.8% MoM) in China, mainly thanks to capacity ramp-up of new production lines. In May, many polysilicon companies were shut down for maintenance, including some first-tier factories, affecting output of more than 5,000 mt. However, due to capacity ramp-up of Tongwei Baoshan and Daquan Inner Mongolia Phase 2, production in May may still increase, but the growth rate will slow down significantly.

[Solar: Bolivia Updates DG Rules and Reaches 194 MW Solar Capacity]

The Bolivian government has approved Supreme Decree 5549, creating a new "medium-scale distributed generation" category for projects between 1 MW and 6 MW. This decree simplifies the connection to medium-voltage networks by removing the need for a formal generation concession, requiring only regulator authorization. According to IRENA, Bolivia ended 2025 with approximately 194 MW of operational PV capacity. These regulatory updates are expected to accelerate solar adoption among industrial and commercial users previously restricted by smaller capacity caps.
