Fluctuations in Solar Energy Adoption Rates. Polysilicon price fluctuations can cause bumps in the way of solar energy solutions adoption. It could make residential and commercial adoption less attractive as returns on investment become less favorable due to increased prices. On the other side, it could present a positive signal for renewed ...
That is probably the reason why the “Sun Screen” study from Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia (CLSA) quoted an average selling price of $24/kg for polysilicon in 2003. On January 1, 2004, an amendment of the German Renewable Energy Law significantly raised the feed-in tariff for electricity from solar power.
Polysilicon price forecasts are usually based on the industry cost curve. In the early 1980s the consulting company McKinsey popularized this microeconomic graph that is ideally suited to predicting the price of commodity products like polysilicon.
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.
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.
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. The PV branch widely thought that polysilicon manufacturers would expand their production capacities to meet increasing demand.
The price decrease for n-type polysilicon is even bigger, with a drop of RMB8 from the previous week for the average price from EnergyTrend, and sits at RMB60/kg as shown in the chart below. N-type polysilicon price decreased to between RMB60-62.5/kg. Chart: Jonathan Touriño Jacobo for PV Tech

Price of polysilicon decreased this week both for p-type and n-type materials with the former dropping below the historic low of US$6.75/kg.
3 · This sharp increase in demand outpaced supply and drove prices for key materials sky high. For the companies that make those materials their profits went up many fold. Along with the profits so went stock prices. Many stocks were up 5x or more in a couple years. With profits rolling in many of these companies, especially the manufactures, built new facilities to ramp up …
For example, high-purity polysilicon, a key material in solar photovoltaics, has experienced significant price fluctuations, affecting the manufacturing capacity and cost of both polysilicon and solar panels. This study developed and validated an initial system dynamics framework to gain insights into global trade in polysilicon. The model represents an initial framework for …
