Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles indicates that leading photovoltaic companies have raised their pricing for solar modules following the holiday period, with prices exceeding 0.9 yuan per watt [1] - Analysts note that the increase in prices is primarily driven by the rise in silver prices, which have rebounded from 18,000 yuan per kilogram to over 20,000 yuan per kilogram, impacting production costs for integrated module manufacturers [1] - The upcoming cancellation of the 9% VAT export tax rebate on April 1 is seen as a critical period for the photovoltaic industry, prompting some companies to raise prices to secure the last benefits from the rebate [1] Group 2 - Infolink Consulting reports that the current price range for distributed components in China is between 0.8 yuan and 0.88 yuan per watt, with actual transaction prices falling between 0.75 yuan and 0.8 yuan per watt [2] - The overall market demand remains weak, with a gradual decline in the execution of ground project orders in the domestic market and limited visibility for new orders [2] - The export market is expected to dominate shipments in the first quarter due to the impact of the VAT export tax, with a shift in procurement attitudes towards a more cautious stance amid rising component prices [2]

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - Although the demand for photovoltaic glass has increased, the increment is limited. Coupled with the high supply in the industry, the short - term price of photovoltaic glass is unlikely to rise and is expected to remain stable [3][7] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Photovoltaic Glass Weekly Outlook - Supply: Last week, the supply of domestic photovoltaic glass decreased slightly. One kiln was cold - repaired, involving a capacity of 250 tons per day. The current in - production capacity has dropped to 86,960 tons per day, with a capacity utilization rate of 66.12%. It is expected that there will be no changes in photovoltaic glass production lines this week [7][12] - Demand: Last week, the shipment of photovoltaic glass manufacturers accelerated, mainly for Spring Festival stockpiling. January is the traditional off - season for demand. Despite the impact of the cancellation of export tax rebates for photovoltaic products, due to the pre - consumption of some expectations in the third quarter of 2025, the enthusiasm of downstream component manufacturers for export rush is not high, and the increase in production scheduling is limited. In February, although the impact of export rush still exists, due to the high price of silver, increased Spring Festival logistics and labor costs, the production scheduling of components in February is not high [7][20] - Inventory: Last week, photovoltaic glass manufacturers continued to reduce inventory. Under the influence of the cancellation of export tax rebates for photovoltaic products, demand increased. On the one hand, downstream enterprises rushed for exports; on the other hand, as the Spring Festival approached, downstream enterprises increased their stockpiling of photovoltaic glass, leading to a decline in inventory and alleviating the industry's inventory pressure [7][23] - Cost - profit: Last week, the gross profit margin of the photovoltaic glass industry was about - 19.15%. The photovoltaic glass market has entered a stage of low - price competition again, and the industry is suffering serious losses [7][25] 3.2 Overview of Domestic Photovoltaic Glass Industry Chain Data 3.2.1 Photovoltaic Glass Spot Price - As of January 30, the mainstream price of domestic 2.0mm coated (panel) photovoltaic glass was 10.5 yuan per square meter, unchanged from last week; the mainstream price of 3.2mm coated photovoltaic glass was 16.5 yuan per square meter, also unchanged from last week [8] 3.2.2 Supply Side - Last week, the supply of domestic photovoltaic glass decreased slightly. One kiln was cold - repaired, involving a capacity of 250 tons per day. The current in - production capacity has dropped to 86,960 tons per day, with a capacity utilization rate of 66.12%. It is expected that there will be no changes in photovoltaic glass production lines this week [12] 3.2.3 Demand Side - Last week, the shipment of photovoltaic glass manufacturers accelerated, mainly for Spring Festival stockpiling. January is the traditional off - season for demand. Despite the impact of the cancellation of export tax rebates for photovoltaic products, due to the pre - consumption of some expectations in the third quarter of 2025, the enthusiasm of downstream component manufacturers for export rush is not high, and the increase in production scheduling is limited. In February, although the impact of export rush still exists, due to the high price of silver, increased Spring Festival logistics and labor costs, the production scheduling of components in February is not high [20] 3.2.4 Inventory Side - Last week, photovoltaic glass manufacturers continued to reduce inventory. Under the influence of the cancellation of export tax rebates for photovoltaic products, demand increased. On the one hand, downstream enterprises rushed for exports; on the other hand, as the Spring Festival approached, downstream enterprises increased their stockpiling of photovoltaic glass, leading to a decline in inventory and alleviating the industry's inventory pressure [23] 3.2.5 Cost - profit Side - Last week, the gross profit margin of the photovoltaic glass industry was about - 19.15%. The photovoltaic glass market has entered a stage of low - price competition again, and the industry is suffering serious losses [25] 3.2.6 Trade Side - In 2025, China's photovoltaic glass export volume increased by 28.4% compared with 2024. Currently, the export of photovoltaic glass remains prosperous, and overseas installation demand is relatively strong [33]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The cancellation of export tax rebates for photovoltaic products will stimulate the demand for polysilicon in the short term and promote the industry to eliminate backward production capacity and achieve supply - demand re - balance in the medium and long term, which is in line with the current policy orientation of "anti - involution" [1][2] 3. Summary by Related Content Policy Background - On January 8, 2026, the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration jointly announced that the VAT export tax rebates for photovoltaic and other products would be fully cancelled from April 1, 2026. In November 2024, the export tax rebate rate for photovoltaic products was lowered from 13% to 9% [1] - The reason for the policy is the "volume increase and price decrease" situation in the export market caused by vicious price competition. In 2024, the export volume of photovoltaic cells increased by 41.5% year - on - year, but the export value decreased by 33.76%; the export volume of components increased by 9.9%, and the export value decreased by 27.89%. Some enterprises converted the tax rebate into a price reduction for overseas customers, leading to profit losses and increasing the risk of international trade frictions [1] Short - term Impact - There will be a "rush to export" market in the about 3 - month window period before the policy is officially implemented on April 1. Enterprises will increase production and shipments to avoid future cost increases, which will boost the demand for upstream polysilicon in the short term. Some photovoltaic enterprises have stated that they will maintain continuous production during the Spring Festival [1] Medium - and Long - term Impact - The full cancellation of export tax rebates will increase the export threshold of photovoltaic products from the cost side, help curb vicious competition relying on price subsidies, accelerate the clearance of excess production capacity in the industry's supply side, and promote the industry to shift from price - based competition to high - quality development based on technology and quality [2] - In January 2026, the regulatory level signaled that the industry's "anti - involution" would focus on market - based and legalized paths, and the market expected a change in the previous approach of industry self - regulation and negotiation [2] Photovoltaic Product List - The list includes "Photovoltaic cells not installed in components or assembled into blocks" with the commodity code 85414200 and "Photovoltaic cells installed in components or assembled into blocks" with the commodity code 85414300 [3]
