The main inputs that make up the solar energy production chain sold by China on the international market showed little or no price variation in February, according to data from InfoLink Consulting.
The consultancy's weekly reports indicate that dollar prices of inputs, such as polysilicon and photovoltaic modules with PERC, TOPCon and HJT (heterojunction) technologies, for example, remained stable throughout the month, without reductions or increases.
The only variations identified occurred in the last week of February, with a slight increase of 0,7% in the cost of wafers 182mm N-Type (from $0,148 to $0,149 per piece) and a 2,7% reduction in the price of Mono PERC cells (from $0,041 to $0,040).
This stability in the solar energy production chain contrasts with the scenario observed in January, when more significant fluctuations were recorded, especially in the first half of the month.
As already reported by Canal Solar, in that period the prices of photovoltaic modules fell by up to 5,9%, while those of Mono PERC and P-Type TOPCon cells increased by more than 2,5%.
Price fluctuations mark the beginning of 2025 in the solar production chain
In the specific case of cells, InfoLink Consulting highlighted that this increase occurred after a drop accumulated growth of more than 40% throughout 2024.
The variation in prices in the global photovoltaic chain is a determining factor for the solar sector, impacting everything from the cost of implementing systems for end consumers to the competitiveness of solar energy in the market.
Furthermore, it helps to directly influence the purchasing, inventory and pricing strategies of companies operating in the sector.
