This week, the mainstream transaction price for P-type dense polysilicon was 35-38 yuan/kg, and for N-type silicon material, it was 40-44 yuan/kg. Overall, polysilicon prices remained stable this week, with limited high-price resource transactions. Currently, companies like Tongwei and Daqo face high inventory risks with quotes at 42 yuan/kg, while New Special's quote is 40 yuan/kg, with relatively low inventory. Current wafer prices show signs of "collapse," unfavorable for a new round of polysilicon pricing.

[SMM PV News] Abu Dhabi Expands Solar Policy to Residential Sector

Abu Dhabi's Department of Energy ('DoE') has expanded its solar self-consumption policy to include villas and eligible residential buildings. Following a February rollout for the agricultural sector, the updated policy now allows homeowners to install rooftop solar with or without battery energy storage systems ('BESS'). The new phase features a simplified regulatory framework to streamline grid connections, supporting the 'UAE' goal of reaching 20 GW of total solar capacity by 2030.

[SMM PV News] US Small-Scale Solar Hits Record 1.9 GW in Q4 2025

The US solar market reached a new milestone in the final quarter of 2025, with distributed capacity surging to a record 1.9 GW. According to the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR), solar accounted for 78% of the 46 GW of new national power capacity added last year. While utility-scale projects dominated at 63%, the 15% from residential and community solar highlights strong distributed growth. Defined as 'small solar' (under 1 MW), this segment saw a Q4 surge partly driven by homeowners rushing to secure the 25D residential property tax credit before its scheduled phase-down.
