On September 16, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) solicited public opinions on three mandatory national standards, including "Energy Consumption Limits per Unit Product for Polysilicon and Germanium" and others.

An unexpected wave of energy storage orders is sweeping the industry. The sudden shift in the supply-demand relationship has led to soaring orders across the industry chain, with production lines operating at full capacity still unable to meet demand, marking the beginning of a market-driven industry test.

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Minutes] N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 50-55 yuan/kg, granular polysilicon at 49-50 yuan/kg, and the polysilicon price index at 52.15 yuan/kg. Market prices rose slightly. Recently, downstream wafer prices increased, industry meetings were held as scheduled, and market sentiment recovered. Currently, newly signed orders are mostly above 50 yuan/kg. Several leading manufacturers are expected to implement production cuts, but polysilicon inventory pressure still requires continuous monitoring.

Elmya Energy and Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure have established a joint venture named Elmantic, focused on developing 4 gigawatts of large-scale renewable energy projects across the United States.

A new solar power initiative in Colombia is projected to help low-income households reduce electricity expenses by 20–40%. Established under Decree 0972 of 2025, the “Colombia Solar” program shifts support for strata 1–3 households from recurring state subsidies to self-supply through solar panel installations.

An international team of photovoltaic researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), the University of Freiburg, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have achieved a key step toward the industrialization of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.

UK-based renewable energy developer Innova announced on Thursday the sale of its fully permitted 12-MWp Park Hill Energy Extension solar project in Scotland to investment firm AlphaReal.

The Romanian subsidiary of French utility group Veolia (EPA: VIE) has obtained a controlling share in General Me.el Electric (GME), a Romanian company specializing in electrical system installation, solar project development, and battery energy storage solutions.

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary: Polysilicon Prices Remain Stable, PV Module Prices Under Pressure] Over the weekend, the quotation for N-type recharging polysilicon was 49.1-54 yuan/kg, the N-type polysilicon price index was 51.26 yuan/kg, and the quotation for granular polysilicon was 48-49 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices remained temporarily stable over the weekend, and the new month's market transactions have not yet truly begun. Currently, hoarding is relatively common in the main PV materials segment, leading to moderate demand in the earlier period but still some concerns about future demand. Recent industry conferences will be held again, and the market is focusing on the conference outcomes.
