Di Yi Cai Jing Zi Xun·2025-12-26 08:42Market Overview - The A-share photovoltaic sector experienced a surge of nearly 3%, with leading stocks including Yangguang Electric (300274.SZ), Jiejia Weichuang (300724.SZ), and Longi Green Energy (601012.SH) showing significant gains [2] - The continuous capacity reduction in upstream silicon materials and rising silver paste prices are positively impacting the photovoltaic industry chain, leading to price increases in downstream silicon wafer companies [2][3] Price Trends - According to Infolink Consulting, the prices of silicon wafers have increased significantly due to strong pricing intentions from silicon wafer manufacturers. The average transaction prices for various types of N-type monocrystalline silicon wafers rose as follows: - N-type G10L: 1.2 yuan/piece, up 2.56% week-on-week - N-type G12R: 1.31 yuan/piece, up 9.17% week-on-week - N-type G12: 1.52 yuan/piece, up 1.33% week-on-week [2][3] Cost Structure - Silver paste has surpassed silicon materials to become the largest cost component in photovoltaic modules, with silver prices increasing over 140% this year. The cost breakdown for photovoltaic components is as follows: - Silver paste: 17% - Silicon materials: 14% - Glass: 13% [3] Component Pricing - Major component manufacturers are raising module prices in response to rising silver prices, with recent market price increases ranging from 0.02 yuan/watt to 0.04 yuan/watt. The current transaction price for mainstream distributed components is between 0.68 yuan/watt and 0.71 yuan/watt [4] Industry Performance - The photovoltaic industry's upstream polysilicon spot prices have risen from 35,400 yuan/ton to 53,600 yuan/ton, leading to a reduction in industry losses. In the first three quarters of 2025, the industry reported losses of 31.039 billion yuan, with the third quarter losses narrowing by nearly 50% compared to the second quarter [5] Regulatory Environment - The National Development and Reform Commission emphasized the need for order regulation and innovation in the photovoltaic sector, aiming to enhance industry concentration and maintain a fair competitive environment. The focus is on eliminating inefficient capacity and promoting differentiated competitive advantages [4] Capacity Growth - As of the end of November, China's total installed power generation capacity reached 3.79 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 17.1%. Solar power generation capacity specifically reached 1.16 billion kilowatts, marking a 41.9% year-on-year growth [4]
