Solar wafer price trend in February 2012 (Figure)

Less than half of capacity operation, falling product prices, insufficient orders, increased inventory pressure, and tight capital... Since last year, the most heard by solar PV companies is that "the market is not good, and the prices of raw materials and products have fallen sharply." Although the price of solar wafers will rise slightly in 2012, the increase may not be as optimistic as previously predicted by industry insiders. In February, the price of silicon wafers also increased slightly due to the price of upstream polysilicon. In the first week of February, the average price of 156 polycrystalline silicon wafers was 1.155 US dollars/piece, and the average price of 156 single crystal silicon wafers was 1.620 US dollars/piece. The average price of 125 polycrystalline silicon wafers was 0.660 US dollars / piece, 125 single crystal silicon wafers average price of 0.916 US dollars / piece, in the following week, 156 polycrystalline silicon film prices rose 4.42%, rose to 1.206 US dollars / piece, 156 single crystal silicon wafers average price of 1.708 US dollars / film, the increase was 5.43%, the average price of 125 polysilicon tablets was 0.689 US dollars / piece, up 4.39%, 125 single crystal silicon wafers also rose 5.35%. However, in the following three weeks, the overall price increase of silicon wafers slowed down. As of February 29, the average price of 156 polycrystalline silicon wafers was 1.246 US dollars/piece, the average price of 156 single crystal silicon wafers was 1.763 US dollars/piece, the average price of 125 polycrystalline silicon wafers was 0.708 US dollars/piece, and the average price of 125 single crystal silicon wafers was 0.998. USD/piece. In February, more than 156 single crystal silicon wafers and more than 125 single crystal silicon wafers increased by 7.88%, 8.83%, 7.27% and 8.95%, respectively. It is reported that the continuous oversupply of the solar wafer industry and the weak demand have forced the solar photovoltaic component company Bekaert to reduce the production of wire saws, resulting in the unemployment of 1250 photovoltaic production line workers. The restructuring began in December 2011, including reducing solar PV production in China. Bekaert is another solar photovoltaic company that recently emphasized the overproduction of the solar wafer industry and the rapid decline in prices and demand. Japanese wafer manufacturer Sumco has also announced that it has completely withdrawn from the solar PV market due to the above reasons. Bekaert CEO BertDeGraeve said: "The unprecedented changes in market conditions in the solar PV industry are forcing us to take immediate action. We will continue to provide our customers with the world's best and most innovative solar PV products and services in the future. We all have Bekaert people. Determined to maintain sustained growth on a global scale. We deeply regret the consequences of this plan and hope that we can do everything we can to reduce its social impact." LG Group has decided to suspend 400 billion won (355 million) US dollar) solar wafer plant expansion plan. If LGChem's 491 billion Korean polysilicon plant construction plan was delayed last year and the recently suspended investment case, the total amount of LG's temporary withdrawal from the solar photovoltaic industry is close to 1 trillion South Korea.
