Components

The price of components increased this week . The price of TOPCon210 bifacial solar panels for ground-mounted power stations is 0.645 yuan/W , the price of TOPCon rectangular bifacial solar panels is 0.645 yuan/ W , and the price of HJT rectangular bifacial solar panels is 0.715 yuan/W .

In terms of supply and demand, the output of the module segment was about 46GW in June, and the production schedule decreased slightly in July . Battery manufacturers actively accumulated inventory to put pressure on module manufacturers, but the inventory of the module segment increased simultaneously. The inventory accumulation cycle continued in July, and the contradiction between supply and demand was prominent.

In terms of installed capacity, the National Energy Administration released national power industry statistics from January to June on July 23. In the first half of the year, 212.21GW of new photovoltaic installed capacity was installed, of which 14.36GW was installed in June .

In terms of price, the Central Finance and Economics Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly stated in early July that they would "fight against low-price disorderly competition", requiring that the selling price cover all costs and that leading enterprises implement a 30% production cut, which directly pushed up upstream prices. However, the power station electricity price mechanism has not been determined, and the sensitivity to component prices is extremely high, which inhibits the transmission of price increases. The Politburo meeting at the end of July may issue more detailed rules. If the enforcement is weakened, the basis for price increases may loosen. Under the residual heat of the policy, component prices still have the inertia of rising, but the rise has slowed down and differentiation continues .


Silicon material/wafer/battery

Silicon material prices rose this week . The average price of N-type reinvestment is 46,800 yuan/ton , the average price of N-type dense silicon is 43,800 yuan/ton , and the average price of N-type granular silicon is 44,000 yuan/ton .

In terms of supply and demand, data from the Silicon Industry Branch showed that the output of silicon materials in July was about 105,000 tons, and the output in August will increase slightly to 110,000 tons. After the price of silicon materials surged, the actual transactions were mainly small orders to replenish inventory, and large orders stagnated. The details of the supply-side reform are yet to be implemented, and the company's quotations are still anchored on the full cost line. Profit restoration may stimulate the restart of high-cost production capacity in the southwest. If the policy implementation is loosened, the resumption of low-cost production capacity will suppress the room for price increases. In the short term, the price of silicon materials is expected to fluctuate slightly .
The price of silicon wafers rose this week . The average price of N-type 210 silicon wafers is 1.45 yuan/piece , and the average price of N-type 182*210mm silicon wafers is 1.45 yuan/piece.1.25 yuan/piece .
In terms of supply and demand, the leading enterprises implemented a 30% production cut, and the operating rate of the silicon wafer link dropped to 50%-60%. The supply contraction supported the price increase. The enthusiasm for picking up goods in the battery cell link increased, the silicon wafer inventory dropped significantly, and the market transaction volume increased. Although the quotations rose generally, the actual transactions were mainly orders from large factories. In the short term, the price of photovoltaic silicon wafers will continue to rise, but the increase will narrow and enter a moderate upward channel .

This week, the price of battery cells has increased . The average price of N-type TOPCon monocrystalline 210 battery is 0.26 yuan/W.Average price of N-type TOPCon monocrystalline 210R battery0.26 yuan/W .

In terms of supply and demand, many battery companies have delayed shipments, and have put pressure on the component side to accept price increases by accumulating inventory, thus strengthening their bargaining power. New quotations are mainly based on overseas orders and small orders to replenish inventory, and large orders have not been released, resulting in a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the downstream. In the short term, battery cell prices still have a small upward space, and the core driver has shifted from "policy expectations" to "actual order landing" .
