Great article from Dipl.-Ing. Martin Schachinger at pvXchange regarding Chinese solar module price increases – “The increases are not linked to higher raw material costs or changes to Chinese export subsidies. On the contrary – wafer prices declined again during the month, while silver prices continued to normalize. The price adjustments appear to reflect manufacturers’ efforts to improve margins after an extended period of losses. Approaches differ, with some suppliers introducing gradual increases and others implementing single-step hikes of 20% to 30%.”
