SMM Photovoltaic Report: MGSi Prices Steady, Polysilicon Market Stable Amid Rising Bearish Sentiment

Published: Oct 16, 2024 08:50
[SMM Silicon-based Photovoltaic Morning Meeting Summary] Metallurgical Grade Silicon (MGSi): This week, the spot prices of MGSi have remained basically stable. Yesterday, the price of 553# MGSi with oxygen blowing in East China ranged from RMB 11,700 to 11,900 per ton, 421# MGSi for organosilicon applications ranged from RMB 12,600 to 12,800 per ton, and 3303# MGSi ranged from RMB 12,600 to 12,800 per ton. On the supply side, silicon enterprises offered firm prices, making it difficult to purchase low-priced products. Downstream users' willingness to purchase at high prices was low, traders' margins were slim, and MGSi prices remained stagnant. Polysilicon: Yesterday, the mainstream price of N-type polysilicon ranged from RMB 40 to 44 per kg, while the mainstream price of dense polysilicon ranged from RMB 35 to 38 per kg. The polysilicon market prices remained stable for the time being, and the period of centralized contract signing has not yet arrived. However, the bearish sentiment in the market is gradually increasing.

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.
