A silicon material factory in Inner Mongolia exploded in the early morning of September 14th, and the fire was caused by a leakage of a new project pipeline, resulting in a shutdown, estimated to last 5-7 days, and affecting more than 400 tons of output. Currently, the photovoltaic industry chain is severely differentiated and the market competition is intensifying. Among them, the upstream silicon material prices continue to rise, ushering in nine consecutive rises; the mid- and downstream continue to weaken, and the prices of silicon wafers, batteries, and components continue to drop.

According to the prices released by the Silicon Industry Branch last week, the polysilicon prices have risen for the ninth time since July, and the n-type material has stabilized for the first time after the tenth price increase. Unlike the continuous rise of silicon materials, the overall price of silicon wafers is stable, and the price of G12 silicon wafers has slightly decreased.
