Why are solar PV module prices so high in China?

The latest round of price surges in the solar value chain has caused PV module prices in China to exceed RMB2/W (US$0.30c/W). Such is the pressure on pricing within the solar PV supply chain presently that many within the industry have joked about leaving for summer vacations early.

How much will Chinese solar panels cost in 2023?

But demand from Europe for Chinese solar panels will almost certainly remain strong in 2023, and as a result, the price of solar panels will stabilize around 1.5 yuan ($0.22) per watt after the first quarter of 2023. Barry van Wyk spent eight years in China studying Chinese in Tianjin and working as a consultant and project manager in Beijing.

Will China's photovoltaic industry expand in 2023?

After years of continuous increases, silicon prices in China have started to fall due to overcapacity, and this is likely to contribute to an expansion of China’s photovoltaic industry in 2023. In December 2022, the price of silicon, the key raw material of solar panels, started to drop.

How will lower solar costs affect China's PV industry in 2023?

For one thing, silicon materials will not be a bottleneck restricting demand, and the first impact of the lower upstream costs is an increase in production of the downstream solar panels and components. Lower production costs will likely give a boost to both local and foreign demand in China’s PV industry in 2023.

Could China's 'all-time high' solar power supply cause a price drop?

Pent-up demand from what one source calls “all-time high” procurement, with China’s National Energy Administration approving a third batch of Gigawatt-base power projects, means falling prices could find a floor. According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, the country is set to install up to 120 GW of solar power in 2023.

How big is China's solar power industry?

Newly installed PV capacity could exceed 100 GW (up from the approximately 80 GW record high of 2022 ). PV revenues from companies listed on Chinese stock markets might top a trillion yuan (more than $147.5 billion) (in the first three quarters of 2022 alone, these revenues amounted to 961.706 billion yuan, or $141.71 billion).
