On May 18, domestic polysilicon prices dropped significantly

Thread Content

On May 18, the domestic polysilicon market continued its downward trend, with prices falling sharply this week; the price of domestic monocrystalline silicon dropped by over 10,000 yuan compared to the previous week. On the one hand, the operating rates of silicon material manufacturers have increased, with new production capacity coming online and some facilities that were under maintenance returning to operation as scheduled, such as Xinte Energy, Asia Silicon Industry, Dongfang Hope, Leshan, Baotou GCL, and Baotou Daquan. Shipments of silicon materials have increased. On the other hand, pressured by the overall decline in operating rates of silicon wafers downstream, shipments of silicon materials have dropped significantly. An oversupply has led to a sharp drop in the price of silicon materials. Currently, the mainstream price range for single-crystal dense material of grade 1 solar grade is 135,000–150,000 yuan per ton.
