SMM Silicon Photovoltaic Morning Meeting Minutes: Component and cell prices rise, while prices of auxiliary materials such as glass fall.

Over the weekend, the component market began to heat up, with leading companies intending to raise prices. Currently, there are multiple cases of price increases reported by distributors—mostly concentrated in P-type components. Recently, PERC182 and Topcon182 cell prices have been raised by 1 cent/W, mainly due to increased demand after resumption of work, rapid depletion of cell inventory, and tight delivery schedules leading to price hikes by some manufacturers. However, the potential for further price hikes in cells remains limited.
