Last week, cell makers were in a bargaining phase with upstream and downstream suppliers, resulting in low delivery volumes and high cell inventory levels.

Last week, cell makers were in a bargaining phase with upstream and downstream suppliers, resulting in low delivery volumes and high cell inventory levels. In terms of prices, P-type stabilized, while N-type showed a downward trend. Currently, the price of high-efficiency PERC 182 solar cells (23.2% efficiency and above) was 0.30-0.30 yuan/W; PERC 210 solar cells were priced around 0.30-0.30 yuan/W; Topcon 182 solar cells (24.7% efficiency and above) were priced around 0.28-0.295 yuan/W; Topcon 210RN solar cells were priced at 0.29-0.30 yuan/W; and Topcon 210 solar cells were priced at 0.30-0.30 yuan/W. Recently, N-type solar cell prices declined, mainly due to a significant oversupply in July, with external purchase orders down MoM from June. Last week, cell makers were affected by both upstream and downstream, with upstream wafer costs rising and cell prices falling. Specialized cell makers, under inventory pressure, find it difficult to stabilize prices, leading to increased losses.

China Approves 17.44 GW Power Plan for Qaidam Desert Base, Including Solar, Wind, and Energy Storage Projects
It is understood that the National Energy Administration has officially approved the power source allocation plan for the "Qaidam Desert Base (East Golmud) Base". The planned construction scale of the power source projects at this base is 17.44 million kilowatts, including 10 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power, 5 million kilowatts of wind power, 2.64 million kilowatts of coal-fired power, 0.1 million kilowatts of solar thermal power, and 1.5 million kilowatts (for 4 hours) of electrochemical energy storage. The total investment in the projects is about 86 billion yuan. The new energy will be transmitted to Guangxi through the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" UHV power transmission project. Currently, significant progress has been made in the preliminary work of the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" project, w

[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.
