In September 2023, China's photovoltaic glass exports hit 303,000 mt, down 10.25% MoM, but up 78.03% YoY. From January to September 2023, cumulative photovoltaic glass exports reached 2,667,300 mt, up 63.66% YoY. Vietnam was the largest recipient of September exports, receiving 59,100 mt, down 29.05% MoM.

In September, the top five destinations of China’s photovoltaic glass exports were Vietnam, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea, with South Korea rising to fifth place. The U.S. fell to sixth with a slight volume reduction, while Cambodia, Mexico, Indonesia, and Australia ranked 7th to 10th. Despite down 29.05% MoM, Vietnam led with 59,100 mt (19.51% of total exports). India's volume was 44,600 mt (14.72% of total), down 5,600 mt MoM. Thailand increased slightly to 42,600 mt (14.07% of total). Malaysia's volume fell to 24,500 mt (8.10% of total), and South Korea's to 21,400 mt (7.07% of total). The U.S. exported 21,100 mt (6.99% of total), down 8.26% MoM. Cambodia's volume was 16,600 mt (5.48% of total), down 23.15% MoM.

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary] Polysilicon: N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 33-35.7 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices remained generally weak, with sluggish market transactions. Previous order signing had concluded, and the current focus was primarily on shipments, with market participants watching for subsequent policy developments. Wafer: Market prices for 18X wafers were 0.88-0.9 yuan/piece, 210RN wafers were priced at 0.98-1.00 yuan/piece, and 210N wafers were priced at 1.18-1.2 yuan/piece. Top-tier players continued to hold prices, and improving quality to justify price increases had become the most pressing task in the wafer segment.

[SMM PV Flash News: SEG Solar's Third Manufacturing Facility Bringing Annual Manufacturing Capacity to 10.6 GW] SEG Solar, a US-based solar module manufacturer, has announced plans to build its third US module manufacturing facility in Texas, with an annual production capacity of 4.6GW, bringing the company's planned total capacity to 10.6GW. SMM believes that SEG Solar's continued capacity buildout aims to deepen US localization not just at the module assembly level, but progressively upstream as well, as SEG has already initiated planning for an ingot and wafer facility in Indonesia. That said, near-term supply chain resilience will therefore likely continue to depend on a hybrid model combining domestic module capacity with strategically diversified upstream sourcing outside China.
