Solar Cell Prices Continue to Rise; Module Prices Slightly Raised [SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Minutes]

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary: Solar Cell Prices Continue to Rise, Module Prices Slightly Raised] The current round of solar cell price gains strengthened further, and prices across all sizes continued to climb. The 183 traded range rose to 0.28-0.3 yuan/W; the mainstream 210N range moved up to 0.28-0.29 yuan/W; and the 210R transaction center climbed to 0.281-0.3 yuan/W. The previous disconnect between quoted prices and spot transaction prices eased significantly, and high-priced orders began to close in batches. Short-term cost increases, combined with recovering export orders, kept overall market sentiment strong; however, excessively rapid price increases may gradually exhaust downstream absorption capacity. Going forward, it is necessary to keep tracking end-user module profit margins, cost fluctuations, and details of policy implementation outside China, while guarding against the risk of a slight correction following excessively rapid price increases.

Wafer Prices Officially Rise

[SMM Flash] On August 12, SMM learned that two leading silicon wafer enterprises have successively resumed quotations, with the latest prices as follows: N-type wafer—183mm: 0.9 yuan/piece N-type wafer—210R: 1 yuan/piece N-type wafer—210mm: 1.2 yuan/piece The new round of wafer quotations has increased by 0.1 yuan/piece compared to the previous level. SMM analysis indicates that this round of wafer price hikes is closely related to cost policies. The actual procurement costs of wafer enterprises have shifted upward, corresponding to rising furnace input costs, making the wafer price increase within reason.

Silicon Metal Price Center Narrowly Firmer, Wafer Range Highs Edge Up Slightly [SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary]

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary] Silicon metal: Yesterday, SMM oxygen-blown #553 silicon in east China was at about 9,100-9,200 yuan/mt, and #441 silicon was at about 9,200-9,400 yuan/mt, with the price center edging up WoW. In the futures market, the most-traded contract showed strength, with the most-traded SI2609 contract consolidating near 8,600 yuan/mt. Futures prices rose, which, combined with silicon enterprises’ reluctance to sell at low prices, reduced cheap supply in the silicon market. Suppliers’ offer centers firmed, while downstream users remained largely in a wait-and-see sentiment, resulting in subdued trading. Wafers: Market prices were 0.798-0.827 yuan/piece for 18X wafers, 0.896-0.915 yuan/piece for 210RN wafers, and 1.097-1.113 yuan/piece for 210N wafers. The upper end of the wafer price range inched up. Yesterday afternoon, a leading specialized wafer enterprise also suspended quoting, planning to increase prices by over 10%. As of now, three enterprises have stopped quoting or suspended shipments.
