This week's upstream photovoltaic prices continue to decline significantly.

Ask AI · Can polysilicon manufacturers’ maintenance in April reverse the price decline?

【This week’s upstream photovoltaic prices continue to decline significantly】Cailian Press, April 3rd — This week, polysilicon prices continued to fall, and market panic/ bearish sentiment remains. Currently, downstream prices have not yet stabilized, and some leading polysilicon manufacturers are also lowering prices to clear inventory, with sentiment still relatively weak. The news of some manufacturers’ maintenance in April, combined with changes in futures trading rules and cost considerations, may provide some support to prices at low levels. This week, the price of solar cells continued to decline, and the outlook among cell manufacturers is mostly bearish, mainly influenced by upstream price increases and downstream order expectations. Currently, some manufacturers believe there is still room for further decline in the market, and there is also a possibility of increased production cuts in the future. Domestic module prices remain temporarily stable this week; major manufacturers’ quotes have seen little change. However, with the expiration of the export tax rebate window, domestic module order volumes have sharply decreased. Coupled with recent declines in solar cell prices that have eased costs, there is still an expectation of further weakening in module prices. (Shanghai Nonferrous Metals Network)
