With a specific silicon consumption of 14 grams per watt (g/W) and a spot price of $28/kg, polysilicon made up costs of $0.39/W or 12.6% of the average wholesale solar module price ($3.10/W) in 2003. Due to the strong demand and the higher polysilicon costs, the average module price increased to $3.35/W in 2004.
When the second Solar Silicon Conference took place in April 2005, the spot price already stood at $80/kg.
Currently, non-Xinjiang wafers with traceability data generally carry a quoted premium of RMB 0.15–0.2/pc. Starting February 2025, spot price updates for 183mm n-type wafers in dollar terms will be introduced. The high prices for M10 PERC and TOPCon cells is based mostly on those of Southeast Asian origins.
Three Taiwanese market research firms provide weekly spot prices of the products in the solar value chain – solar-grade polysilicon, wafers, solar cells and panels – as well as background information on the price trend on their respective English websites: PVinsights, EnergyTrend and PV InfoLink.
Currently, non-Xinjiang polysilicon with traceability data generally carries a quoted premium of RMB 3–5/kg. Polysilicon prices in dollar terms are prices for polysilicon with non-China origins in dollar terms, not translated from RMB prices.
Only an average price of polysilicon used to make p-type wafers is still accessible through a free membership which you have to register for with your e-mail address and a password. Often PVinsights is the first that identifies a new price trend – be it downwards or upwards – but it tends to be more bearish than the other data providers.
The global containerized energy storage and solar container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with commercial and industrial energy storage demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
