[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary] Silicon metal: Spot silicon metal prices trended weaker yesterday. SMM east China oxygen-blown #553 silicon was at 8,900-9,100 yuan/mt, down 100 yuan/mt from the previous day. #441 silicon was at 9,200-9,300 yuan/mt, down 100 yuan/mt from the previous day. The SI2605 contract closed at 8,260 yuan/mt yesterday. The decline in silicon prices stimulated the release of some rigid demand orders from downstream buyers and traders. With weak supply and demand, silicon prices consolidated at lows. Polysilicon: N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 34.5-37.5 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices continued to decline recently, and bearish sentiment persisted in the market. Some individual transactions below current mainstream transaction prices emerged. Polysilicon inventory pressure remained significant, exerting pressure on future prices.
Apr 8, 2026 08:56[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Briefing] Silicon metal: The silicon metal market remained in a weak stalemate. Yesterday, SMM east China oxygen-blown #553 silicon was at 9,100-9,200 yuan/mt, down 50 yuan/mt from the previous day. Weaker expectations for production cuts on the supply side weighed on market sentiment. At the start of the week, futures prices trended weaker, and the center of spot transactions for some cargoes in the market edged lower. Cost support from the raw material side remained firm, and prices may fall back into stalemate. Polysilicon: N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 35.5-41.5 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices have continued to decline recently, mainly affected by market sentiment and inventory exit the market among some leading enterprises. At present, low-priced polysilicon has already fallen below the cost line of some producers, and the sentiment to hold quotes firm has strengthened somewhat. Relevant meetings still need to be monitored going forward.
Apr 1, 2026 09:07[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary: Polysilicon Prices Remained Slightly Weak, While Module Prices Were Stable on the Surface but Fell in Practice] Over the weekend, N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 36-43.5 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices still appeared slightly weak over the weekend, and the market reported that some crystal pulling facilities had extremely low target prices, which upstream suppliers had not yet accepted.
Mar 30, 2026 09:34Recently, Shenzhen Hoypower Technology Co., Ltd. announced the completion of a Series A+ financing round worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Since the mass production of its solid-state batteries, Hoypower's revenue scale has achieved a compound annual growth rate exceeding 100%, with cumulative shipments surpassing 100 million units. Its large-scale delivery capabilities have been highly recognized by leading customers. Hoypower has successfully achieved key technological breakthroughs in solid-state batteries, including silicon-based anode systems with an energy density ≥400Wh/kg and lithium metal anode systems with an energy density ≥500Wh/kg. These advancements can meet the demands of low-altitude economy unmanned aerial vehicles for high safety and long endurance.
Mar 27, 2026 14:18[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary] Silicon Metal: Spot silicon metal prices remained in a stalemate consolidation. Yesterday, SMM east China oxygen-blown #553 silicon was at 9,100-9,300 yuan/mt, and #441 silicon at 9,300-9,500 yuan/mt, unchanged from the previous day. The quote center of some silicon enterprises was slightly lower than that of trading firms engaging in both spot and futures market, while downstream users mainly transacted at lower prices, and overall market trading activity was subdued. Polysilicon: N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 38-47 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices continued to decline somewhat recently, mainly affected by market sentiment and inventory clearance by some leading enterprises. At present, low-priced polysilicon has already fallen below the cost line of some manufacturers, and the sentiment to hold quotes firm has strengthened somewhat. The upstream market was also still watching wafer price movements.
