[SMM Silicon-based PV Morning Meeting Summary: Signs of Inventory Buildup in Solar Cells Emerge, Glass September New Order Quotations Raised Across the Board] Solar cell prices continued their subdued downward trend today, with overall market sentiment remaining weak. The quotation center for 210R continued to move lower, with the price range revised down to 0.303-0.313 Yuan/W; the 183 price range narrowed in tandem to 0.305-0.315 Yuan/W; 210N extended its weakening trend, with the price range revised down to 0.298-0.304 Yuan/W. All three price tiers continued to shift downward in sync, with market quotations and actual transactions for 183 and 210R still concentrated in the 0.31-0.32 Yuan/W range. Downstream module enterprises held low procurement expectations, with psychological price levels concentrated at 0.30-0.31 Yuan/W. Mainstream quotations for 210N were in the 0.3-0.31 Yuan/W range, but low prices of 0.295 Yuan/W had already emerged. Downstream wait-and-see sentiment remained strong, overall procurement volumes were insufficient, solar cell enterprises faced a dearth of new orders, and signs of inventory buildup gradually emerged. In the short term, the tug-of-war between sellers and buyers is expected to persist, and prices are likely to consolidate on a subdued note. Future price trends will need to be confirmed by substantial transaction volumes to establish bottom support.
