Institution: This week, the upstream and downstream of monocrystalline silicon wafers remain cautious, and the prices of silicon wafers are running steadily.

According to Antai Ke statistics, the price of silicon wafers has remained stable this week. Specifically, the average transaction price of N-type G10L monocrystalline silicon wafers is 0.80 yuan/piece, the average transaction price of N-type G12R monocrystalline silicon wafers is 0.90 yuan/piece, and the average transaction price of N-type G12 monocrystalline silicon wafers is 1.10 yuan/piece, all unchanged from last week. Based on research, the prices of downstream solar cells and modules have remained stable compared to last week, with mainstream prices for solar cells ranging from 0.25 to 0.26 yuan/W and mainstream prices for modules at 0.67 to 0.68 yuan/W, showing no significant changes. This week, there is a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the silicon wafer market, with prices showing no significant changes. Specifically, on one hand, influenced by recent industry policies and conferences, silicon wafer manufacturers have clearly reduced their mindset of low-price sales, with some manufacturers even tentatively raising prices slightly; on the other hand, downstream demand remains weak, with battery companies placing fewer purchase orders for silicon wafers, generally opting for small volume purchases at lower prices. Overall, the supply-demand contradiction in the silicon wafer market has not yet eased, with upstream and downstream players in a stalemate, and the market is mostly in a wait-and-see mode, resulting in stable prices. According to research, the overall industry operating rate this week is the same as last week, with two leading companies operating at rates of 52% and 54%, integrated enterprises operating between 56% and 60%, and other companies' operating rates ranging from 50% to 78%.
