Wafer (Per Pcs.) This week, the mainstream concluded price for mono recharge polysilicon is RMB 35.5/KG, while mono dense polysilicon is priced at RMB 33.0/KG and N-type granular silicon is currently priced at RMB 32.5/KG. Polysilicon producers continue to hold firm on pricing.
Currently, non-Xinjiang polysilicon with traceability data generally carries a quoted premium of RMB 3–5/kg. Polysilicon prices in dollar terms are prices for polysilicon with non-China origins in dollar terms, not translated from RMB prices.
Currently, non-Xinjiang wafers with traceability data generally carry a quoted premium of RMB 0.15–0.2/pc. Starting February 2025, spot price updates for 183mm n-type wafers in dollar terms will be introduced. The high prices for M10 PERC and TOPCon cells is based mostly on those of Southeast Asian origins.
n-type silicon was up 3.7% from CW1, just 3 weeks after registering an increase in CW51/2024. Having remained unchanged since CW36/2024, granular silicon prices were also up 5.4% WoW. The 3 n-type wafers were up mid- to high-single-digits, with the 182 mm variant seeing a 9.3% increase WoW.
Having remained unchanged since CW36/2024, granular silicon prices were also up 5.4% WoW. The 3 n-type wafers were up mid- to high-single-digits, with the 182 mm variant seeing a 9.3% increase WoW. Prices for the n-type 182 mm cell were up 1.8% WoW in CW2, bringing all n-type cell prices at par at RMB 0.29/W.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
