[SMM Silicon-based PV Morning Meeting Summary: Solar Cell Prices Ease, EVA Resin Prices Edge Up] The solar cell market remained in a stalemate with signs of easing today. 210R held steady temporarily, while 183 and 210N edged down slightly. The 210R price range stayed at 0.298-0.305 yuan/W, with the center stable near 0.3 yuan/W. The 183 price range was revised down to 0.289-0.301 yuan/W, and the 210N price range was lowered to 0.289-0.293 yuan/W. This round of declines was mainly driven by leading module makers starting to purchase at a low price of 0.29 yuan/W from some specialized solar cell plants, with low-price deals gradually being closed. Meanwhile, leading module makers lowered their purchasing expectations for 183, dragging its price center down slightly. Low-price transactions are gradually spreading. In the short term, the price center is expected to remain stable or edge down slightly, with close attention to the support level at 0.29 yuan/W and the progress of low-price deals.

Jordan's Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission has issued the first 200 approvals for renewable energy installations and grid connection under the country's amended Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law, covering residential and military applicants as a nationwide backlog review begins. The revised framework offers net-value, zero-export and full-export connection models and provides a regulatory basis for customers to add battery storage alongside generation. Jordan's cumulative solar capacity stood at 2,195 MW at the end of 2025.

US solar cell maker Suniva has completed an USD 835 million debt and equity financing round to fund construction of its second monocrystalline silicon cell plant in Laurens County, South Carolina. The 4.5 GW facility represents an investment of about USD 600 million and is expected online in late 2027 with full ramp in 2028, lifting Suniva's total US cell capacity to 5.5 GW including its existing 1 GW Norcross, Georgia line. Most of the planned output is covered by long-term offtake agreements, and the project is expected to create about 564 advanced manufacturing jobs.
