Market prices are significantly higher than the old polysilicon prices rose to $80 per kilogram

Influence of solar photovoltaic industry recently by the demand significantly warmed the time-honored polysilicon spot market price recently rebounded from a longer period of $70 a kilogram, recently began to increase 2~10%, many solar silicon wafer factory has admitted that the recent purchase of the atmosphere feel panic buying.

Solar energy photovoltaic industry in the third quarter of this year began to demand was back to temperature, in addition to the actual production and less has been cut a lot Chinese polysilicon materials offer fast rebound, time-honored grade polysilicon source spot price of the most representative, also recently started from about ready to maintain, while $70 per kg the phenomenon began to rise.

Many solar silicon wafer factory said, if there is sufficient amount of the purchase, the polysilicon price per kilogram up 2~3 dollars, between 72~73 dollars, or about 2%, if the amount is quite considerable and good relations, to maintain the original $70 per kilogram level may also; but in the absence of special relationship and the purchase quantity in the next, to achieve the time-honored polysilicon prices close to $80 per kilogram, rose up to more than 10%.

Since the fourth quarter of 2008 financial storm, time-honored polysilicon spot prices from the past about more than $400 per kilogram in 2009 to the second quarter of $70, while continue to spread in the solar PV industry raw materials market accounted for time-honored polysilicon plant rate more than 8 to production, to maintain a high price level, but no time-honored factory confirmed the news.

Time-honored factory of American Hemlock, German Wacker, Norway REC, American MEMC, Japan Tokuyama time-honored factory to reduce the production capacity, is not likely, because the average production cost of approximately $30 per kg, at $70 per kilogram market price is still a considerable profit space, and these time-honored factory new development capacity production costs are relatively high, profit margins will be under pressure, so from the old factory raised new factory's point of view, it is difficult to carry out production action.

However, time-honored factory new capacity expansion pace delay phenomenon can be determined, and this wave of prosperity back to temperature will urge the time-honored factory to restore the new production capacity expansion pace, also needs further observation, after all, capital expenditure is not a small amount of polysilicon, and this wave of prosperity return force is still uncertain.
