Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent trends in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, highlighting the price fluctuations of polysilicon, silicon wafers, solar cells, and modules, as well as the supply and demand dynamics affecting these segments [5][9][15]. Polysilicon Segment - The main transaction prices for N-type polysilicon are reported at 36.5 RMB/KG for recycled material, 34.0 RMB/KG for dense material, and 33.0 RMB/KG for granular silicon [5][6]. - There is an increase in transaction volume post-holiday, with some manufacturers selling below the mainstream price to stabilize cash flow, while crystal pulling factories are pushing for lower prices [6]. - Overall polysilicon inventory is above 370,000 tons, with a trend of increasing inventory due to slowed downstream purchasing [7]. - During the wet season, some manufacturers confirmed production increases, but cautious purchasing from crystal pulling factories is leading to price pressure [8][9]. Silicon Wafer Segment - The main transaction prices for N-type silicon wafers are 0.93 RMB/piece for M10, 1.27 RMB/piece for G12, and 1.07 RMB/piece for G12R [9][12]. - There is a divergence in supply and demand across different specifications, with excess inventory for 183N wafers, while demand for 210RN wafers is improving due to new production lines [10]. - Silicon wafer inventory remains stable at around 2 billion pieces, with no significant growth expected in the short term [12]. Solar Cell Segment - The main transaction prices for N-type solar cells are 0.250 RMB/W for M10, 0.270 RMB/W for G12, and 0.260 RMB/W for G12R [12][15]. - There is a significant pressure on the supply of 183-sized cells, while demand for 210RN cells is relatively strong, supporting current prices [13]. - Inventory levels for specialized solar cell manufacturers are around one week, but there is a risk of inventory rising due to oversupply [14]. Module Segment - The main transaction prices for modules are 0.67 RMB/W for 182mm double-sided TOPCon modules and 0.75 RMB/W for 210mm double-sided HJT modules [15]. - There is a vacuum in terminal module demand, with major manufacturers reducing production and mid-tier manufacturers also cutting back [16]. - Module prices are experiencing differentiation, with larger high-efficiency modules commanding a premium, while traditional components are seeing prices drop below 0.65 RMB/W [17]. Overseas Demand - In Europe, module prices remained stable in May, but future prices may be affected by the decline in imported products [18]. - In India, anti-dumping rulings on imported photovoltaic glass may increase local component costs [18]. - In the United States, FOB prices are stable, but concerns are rising regarding new investigations into Southeast Asian manufacturers [18].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent trends in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, highlighting price fluctuations across various segments such as polysilicon, wafers, cells, and modules, indicating a cautious market outlook with potential for further price declines [5][9][12][16]. Polysilicon Segment - The main transaction price for N-type re-investment material is 37.0 RMB/KG, while N-type dense material and N-type granular silicon are priced at 34.5 RMB/KG and 33.5 RMB/KG respectively [5][9]. - Overall polysilicon inventory is above 370,000 tons, with a slowing purchasing speed from downstream, suggesting a continued upward trend in inventory levels [7]. - Major manufacturers are planning production cuts, and there is a strong consensus among other manufacturers to adjust operating rates in response to declining prices [8][9]. Wafer Segment - The main transaction prices for N-type M10 wafers, N-type G12 wafers, and N-type G12R wafers are 0.93 RMB/piece, 1.27 RMB/piece, and 1.07 RMB/piece respectively [9][12]. - Inventory levels for wafers remain stable at around 20 GW, with no expected increase in the short term [11]. - Demand for 210RN wafers has improved, leading to a slight price rebound, although overall demand remains weak [12][14]. Cell Segment - The main transaction prices for M10 single crystal TOPCon cells, G12 single crystal TOPCon cells, and G12R single crystal TOPCon cells are 0.255 RMB/W, 0.273 RMB/W, and 0.260 RMB/W respectively [13][16]. - Inventory levels for specialized cell manufacturers are around one week, indicating a relatively light inventory pressure across the supply chain [15]. - The demand for 210RN cells has provided some support, leading to a slight price increase despite overall market weakness [16]. Module Segment - The main transaction prices for 182mm double-sided double-glass TOPCon modules and 210mm double-sided double-glass HJT modules are 0.67 RMB/W and 0.77 RMB/W respectively [16]. - There is a noticeable decline in order visibility for modules in June, with many manufacturers reducing operating rates and maintaining low inventory levels [17][18]. - The European market has seen stable module prices in May, but future prices may be affected by the decline in imported products [18].
