Core Viewpoint - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to lead to price increases in upstream silicon materials, which could help the photovoltaic industry escape the low-price competition dilemma. However, due to weak terminal demand, the price transmission effect has been poor, resulting in new issues such as upstream inventory accumulation and increased costs in the midstream [1][17]. Upstream Price and Inventory Issues - The photovoltaic industry is currently facing challenges such as inventory accumulation and declining terminal demand. The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association's silicon division reported that while there is still bullish sentiment, the supply-demand fundamentals have not improved, with September's polysilicon production expected to be around 125,000 to 130,000 tons, continuing to face inventory risks [2][4]. - In the first half of the year, domestic polysilicon production was approximately 596,000 tons, a significant decrease of 44.1% year-on-year. However, due to a sharp price increase in July, the market has reversed from a "reduction, quality improvement, and destocking" process to a situation of "price increase and inventory accumulation" [3][4]. - Despite the inventory accumulation, polysilicon prices have surged, with the average price of N-type polysilicon rising from 34,400 yuan/ton at the end of June to 47,900 yuan/ton by August 27, marking a short-term increase of about 38% [4][5]. Midstream Price Transmission Challenges - Following the significant price increase in upstream polysilicon, there have been reports of "shortages and price increases" in photovoltaic modules. However, major companies indicate that there is sufficient supply of photovoltaic components, and any shortages are likely isolated incidents. The price increases in modules have not been substantial due to weak downstream demand [8][9]. - The recent price increases in high-efficiency components are attributed to structural and phase adjustments in the market, driven by technological iterations and differentiated demand in the downstream market [9][10]. Declining Terminal Demand - The recent data indicates a significant decline in terminal demand, with July's newly installed solar power capacity at only 11.04 million kilowatts, a year-on-year decrease of 47.55% [12][13]. - The decline in demand is attributed to a combination of policy changes, market factors, and the industry's transition from rapid growth to high-quality development. The "136 document" has led to a cautious approach among investors, delaying new project approvals and installations [13][14][15]. Potential Solutions for Industry Challenges - To address the inventory accumulation in polysilicon, industry self-discipline in production reduction is necessary. The "anti-involution" policy may help mitigate low-price competition, but the industry must focus on self-regulation and collaboration to avoid blind expansion and price wars [17][19]. - Key strategies for breaking the industry deadlock include enhancing self-discipline and collaboration, driving technological innovation, extending value chains into storage and energy operations, and strengthening global presence to reduce reliance on single markets [19][20].

Core Viewpoint - The photovoltaic industry is currently facing challenges due to upstream inventory accumulation and a decline in terminal demand, leading to a complex situation of rising prices amidst high inventory levels [1][2][3]. Upstream Price and Inventory Issues - The recent surge in multi-crystalline silicon prices has occurred despite an increase in inventory, with production in July rising to approximately 107,800 tons, a month-on-month increase of 5.7% [2]. - The expected production for September is projected to be between 125,000 to 130,000 tons, exceeding the monthly demand by about 16,000 tons, indicating a growing oversupply situation [2][3]. - The average price of N-type raw materials increased from 34,400 yuan per ton at the end of June to 47,900 yuan per ton by August 27, marking a short-term increase of approximately 38% [2]. Midstream Price Transmission Challenges - Despite the price increases in upstream multi-crystalline silicon, midstream photovoltaic module manufacturers report that supply remains sufficient, and any price increases are limited due to weak downstream demand [5][6]. - The recent price hikes in modules are not uniformly successful, as the demand side does not support significant price increases, leading to only moderate adjustments [5][6]. Downstream Demand Decline - The newly installed solar power generation capacity in July was only 11.04 million kilowatts, a significant year-on-year decrease of 47.55% and a month-on-month decrease of 23.12% [8][9]. - This decline in demand is attributed to a combination of policy changes, market conditions, and the industry's transition from rapid growth to a focus on high-quality development [9][10]. Industry Outlook and Solutions - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to help the industry escape low-price competition, but the current weak terminal demand hampers effective price transmission across the supply chain [11][12]. - To address the inventory issues, companies are encouraged to self-regulate production and avoid blind expansion and price wars [12]. - Key strategies for breaking the industry deadlock include industry self-discipline, technological innovation, and expanding into new value chains such as energy storage and digital services [12].

Core Viewpoint - The photovoltaic industry is currently facing challenges due to upstream inventory accumulation and a decline in terminal demand, leading to a complex situation of rising prices amidst high inventory levels [1][3][11]. Upstream Price and Inventory Dynamics - The recent surge in multi-crystalline silicon prices has not effectively transmitted through the industry chain to downstream sectors, raising concerns about the sustainability of the price increase [1][3]. - In the first half of the year, domestic multi-crystalline silicon production was approximately 596,000 tons, a significant year-on-year decrease of 44.1%, while inventory dropped from about 400,000 tons at the end of 2024 to approximately 366,000 tons by the end of June [1][2]. - Despite a production increase to around 107,800 tons in July (up 5.7% month-on-month), the anticipated production for September is projected to be between 125,000 and 130,000 tons, leading to an expected inventory rise to approximately 390,000 tons by the end of September [2][3]. Midstream Pricing Challenges - The price increase in multi-crystalline silicon has not led to a corresponding rise in photovoltaic module prices due to sufficient supply and resistance from downstream demand [5][6]. - The recent reports of "shortages and price increases" in photovoltaic modules are primarily structural and phase-related, rather than a direct result of upstream price hikes [6][7]. Downstream Demand Decline - The newly installed solar power capacity in July was only 11.04 million kilowatts, a significant year-on-year decline of 47.55%, indicating a downward trend in demand [8][9]. - The decline in demand is attributed to a combination of policy changes, market conditions, and the industry's transition from rapid growth to high-quality development [9][10]. Industry Outlook and Solutions - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to help stabilize the market by curbing low-price competition, but its effectiveness in addressing upstream inventory issues remains uncertain [11][12]. - Key strategies for overcoming the current challenges include industry self-discipline, technological innovation, and expanding into new value chains such as energy storage and digital services [12].
