Silica prices remained stable this week.

SHANGHAI, May 19 (SMM) - Silica prices remained stable this week. The ex-factory prices of high-grade silica in Hubei were 400-470 yuan/mt, those of low-grade silica in Yunnan were 300-340 yuan/mt, and those of high-grade silica in Inner Mongolia stood at 420-450 yuan/mt. The impact of previous mine accidents in Inner Mongolia on local mines will not ease until the end of May. In June, the silica mining and shipment in Inner Mongolia may improve, easing the supply tightness, and thus the silica prices are expected to stabilise.

[SMM PV News] Armenia Hits 1.1 GW Solar Capacity,

Armenia’s cumulative solar capacity has surged to 1.1 GW following the addition of approximately 615 MW in 2025. This rapid expansion has pushed solar's share of electricity generation to around 15%, effectively meeting the country's 2030 target years ahead of schedule. The growth is heavily driven by a net-metering scheme supporting over 50,000 autonomous producers (totaling 650 MW), though the government ended loan subsidies for rooftop solar in July to shift focus toward battery storage.
