The photovoltaic industry is a rapidly evolving sector, and the North Star Solar Photovoltaic Network provides valuable insights into the latest developments within this field. To stay informed about the photovoltaic industry, please follow the North Star Solar Photovoltaic Network.
As of March 20, the latest pricing updates from TrendForce indicate that the price of silicon materials has stabilized. The mainstream transaction prices for n-type recycled materials are around 41 yuan/kg, while n-type dense materials stand at 40 yuan/kg, and n-type granular silicon is priced at 38 yuan/kg. This reflects a continuing trend of high demand for solar cells, contributing to a favorable supply-demand dynamic.
In recent news, the pricing of silicon wafers has also been affected by the sustained demand for batteries. The expected production capacity for March and April is projected to exceed 60 GW, although current silicon wafer production capacity remains inadequate to meet this demand, which may lead to price increases.
The JinkoSolar company has shown resilience over the past two decades, adapting to new policies that have further enhanced supply-side reforms. The company is poised to play a crucial role in the photovoltaic industry’s recovery and stabilization in 2025.
Meanwhile, the Huasun company continues to lead in heterojunction technology, optimizing product performance to support the development of offshore photovoltaic energy solutions. Their commitment to innovation and efficiency is aimed at contributing to the global transition toward green energy.
On March 19, pricing data revealed that the price of 2.0mm coated photovoltaic glass is 13 yuan/m², while 3.2mm coated glass is priced at 21 yuan/m², and 2.0mm backplane glass at 14 yuan/m². These figures highlight the ongoing price adjustments within the industry.
In India, new regulations aim to strengthen local silicon wafer production, reducing dependence on imports. The Indian government is encouraging investments in domestic manufacturing to enhance the photovoltaic supply chain’s self-sufficiency.
As the offshore photovoltaic industry faces challenges related to cost control, new policy innovations are emerging to support its growth. Industry experts believe this marks a significant step toward large-scale and clustered development in the sector.
On March 17, the latest supply chain price report indicated a rise in production for silicon materials, silicon wafers, and battery components, suggesting an upward trajectory in output as the industry gears up for future demands.
Additionally, the integration of solar energy into traditional industries is becoming a significant focus, with projects like the Fengyang Conch Photovoltaic Integrated Project setting benchmarks for future developments.
Finally, the industry is also facing quality challenges, particularly concerning the use of harmful materials in photovoltaic glass manufacturing. Addressing these issues is crucial for the overall health and safety standards of the photovoltaic industry.
