Oct 26, 2014 · Search me for an answer. Seriously, we think the question should actually be: why did the price of polysilicon grow from about $60 /Kg in 2005 to $450 in 2008. It happened
Either way, polysilicon's role in determining solar panel pricing can't be overstated. Spot market prices, which recently peaked at $45.47/kg, the highest since 2011, are higher than those locked into long-term contracts. This means that companies producing their own polysilicon are at an advantage with lower input costs.
However, creating PV modules relies heavily on specific materials whose production rates are affected by prices and supply. Polysilicon is one of those specific materials, and if solar PV is going to be the solution, it will be critically important.
Wafer (Per Pcs.) This week, the mainstream concluded price for mono recharge polysilicon is RMB 35.5/KG, while mono dense polysilicon is priced at RMB 33.0/KG and N-type granular silicon is currently priced at RMB 32.5/KG. Polysilicon producers continue to hold firm on pricing.
Due to the strong demand and the higher polysilicon costs, the average module price increased to $3.35/W in 2004. With a specific silicon consumption of 13 g/W and an annual spot price average of $43/kg, the share of the higher polysilicon costs ($0.56/W) in the module price ($3.35/W) rose only slightly to 16.7 % in 2004.
Polysilicon is short for polycrystalline silicon, and is a crucial material used in the production of solar panels. The two main types of solar panels derived from silicon are monocrystalline and polycrystalline, and each has benefits over the other.
Currently, non-Xinjiang polysilicon with traceability data generally carries a quoted premium of RMB 3–5/kg. Polysilicon prices in dollar terms are prices for polysilicon with non-China origins in dollar terms, not translated from RMB prices.
