Core Viewpoint - The adjustment of the new energy export tax rebate policy has led to a significant decrease in inquiries from overseas customers, particularly price-sensitive clients from the Middle East, causing challenges for small and medium-sized photovoltaic companies in pricing and order acquisition [1][4]. Group 1: Impact of Policy Changes - The adjustment of the export tax rebate policy has resulted in reduced inquiries from overseas clients, particularly those sensitive to price increases [1]. - The price of photovoltaic components has surged due to rising metal prices, with component prices increasing from approximately 0.6 yuan/watt to 0.9 yuan/watt within a month, marking a nearly 50% increase [4]. - The dual impact of policy changes and market conditions is forcing small and medium-sized photovoltaic companies to reassess their survival strategies [4][10]. Group 2: Cost Structure Changes - The cost structure of photovoltaic components has shifted, with silver prices rising over 200% since 2025, leading to silver paste costs becoming the largest cost component, increasing from 17% to 30% of total costs [7][8]. - The average price of silver reached 30,900 yuan/kg by January 29, 2026, reflecting a significant increase from approximately 7,600 yuan/kg at the beginning of 2025 [8]. - Copper and aluminum prices have also risen, with copper prices increasing by 22.1% and aluminum prices rising by 10% in January 2026 compared to the previous year [8][9].
