U.S. solar manufacturer Solx and perovskite specialist Caelux have announced a five-year partnership to produce 3 GW of hybrid tandem modules. The collaboration integrates Caelux’s “Active Glass” with Suniva’s domestic silicon cells at Solx’s Puerto Rico facility, achieving 28% efficiency. Built to compete beyond federal tax credits, the partnership focuses on scalability and durability, utilizing a robust four-terminal process to overcome perovskite's reliability hurdles. Commercial-scale production is slated for 2027, leveraging Solx’s gigawatt-level manufacturing infrastructure to secure U.S. energy independence.

Silicon Metal Market Under Pressure in Stalemate, Silicon Wafer High-Price Range Weakens [SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary]

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary] Silicon metal: SMM oxygen-blown #553 silicon in east China was at 9,100-9,200 yuan/mt yesterday, and #441 silicon was at 9,300-9,400 yuan/mt. The most-traded futures contract hovered around 8,500 yuan/mt. Silicon metal prices continued to move sideways in a narrow range. In recent days, the market has seen no new news disruptions, leading to a stalemate in price changes. Increasing supply put prices under pressure in the short term. Wafer: Market prices for 18X wafers were 0.86-0.9 yuan/piece, 210RN wafers were 0.96-1.00 yuan/piece, and 210N wafers were 1.16-1.2 yuan/piece. Smaller factories have already begun to see transactions at lower prices. 18X wafers are under the most severe pressure, and the high end of the overall price range is trending further downward.
