Chinese PV Industry Brief: Lower wafer prices, new modules, and a factory under construction |
Longi has announced more cuts to wafer prices, while cell manufacturer Tongwei has started building the first phase of its 30 GW Jintang PV manufacturing base. Risen Energy has also released solid financials, while JA Solar has unveiled plans to start selling its 500 W-plus solar modules.
Longi announced additional reductions in wafer prices last week. The Chinese monocrystalline solar module manufacturer said on Friday that prices for monocrystalline wafers were lowered by RMB0.15 (US$0.02) for both the M6 and G1 sizes. M6 wafers are 166 mm long and have a maximum diagonal length of 223 mm — with cut corners. G1 wafers are 158.75 mm long, with a maximum diagonal length of 158 mm.
The latest 175 mm, p-type M6 mono wafers are RMB2.77 per piece and RMB2.68 for the p-type G1 size, with the same thickness. This is the third time the manufacturer has cut wafer prices over the last 30 days. Since early April, prices of mono wafers have fallen by RMB0.49 per piece, for both the M6 and G1 size.
Tongwei started building the first phase of its Jintang PV manufacturing base. The solar cell manufacturer and its local partners obtained permission to reopen the site following the Chinese government’s decision to ease the country’s Covid-19 lockdown measures.
