Last week, P-type and N-type solar cells were priced the same, and 18x solar cells were priced the same as the 210 series solar cells.

Last week, P-type and N-type solar cells were priced the same, and 18x solar cells were priced the same as the 210 series solar cells. The pickup volume from module manufacturers increased, leading to a decrease in inventory at major battery makers. Solar cell prices stabilized. Currently, high-efficiency PERC 182 solar cells (23.2% efficiency and above) were priced at 0.29-0.30 yuan/W; PERC 210 solar cells were priced at around 0.29-0.30 yuan/W; Topcon 182 solar cells (24.7% efficiency and above) were priced at around 0.28-0.295 yuan/W; Topcon 210RN solar cells were priced at 0.29-0.30 yuan/W; Topcon 210 solar cells were priced at 0.29-0.30 yuan/W, with the lowest price for Topcon solar cells with over 25% efficiency being 0.29 yuan/W, making further price drops unlikely. PV module production in August may see an increase, with specialized cell makers seeing an improvement in orders. However, orders are concentrated among top-tier manufacturers, while second and third-tier battery makers have fewer direct sales and outsourcing orders, focusing mainly on reducing inventory.

[SMM PV News] EU Approves €500M Cleantech Scheme for Luxembourg

The European Commission has approved a €500 million state aid scheme for Luxembourg to support the manufacturing of clean technologies, including solar, wind, and batteries. Operating under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework ('CISAF'), the initiative will provide direct grants to local companies until December 2030. This marks the first 'CISAF' scheme for a small Member State. The funding aims to expand local capacity, boosting efforts by companies like 'Solarcells', which recently began producing Luxembourg's first domestic solar panels. This follows similar 'CISAF' approvals for Greece (€400 million) and Germany (€3 billion) to accelerate Europe's net-zero transition.
